The Central government Friday told the Supreme Court that there was no move to set up a commission to probe the alleged snooping of a woman by Gujarat Police which triggered a political storm.

Solicitor General Mohan Parasaran told the apex court bench of Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai and Justice N.V. Ramana that "Union Law Minister (Kapil Sibal) has already made a statement that there no proposal to appoint a commission to inquire into the snoopgate".

Solicitor General Parasaran made the statement after the court issued notice on the plea of the woman and her father that the central and Gujarat governments be restrained from setting up a commission to inquire into the alleged snooping incident.
