The Supreme Court said Thursday it will hear "as and when required" a PIL challenging the government's notification authorising 10 central agencies to intercept, monitor and decrypt any computer system.

The matter was mentioned for urgent listing before a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice S K Kaul.

The petitioner, advocate Manohar Lal Sharma, said his PIL should be heard urgently.

However, the bench told Sharma, "We will see. As and when required we will list the matter."
