SG Tushar Mehta says before CJI bench that Advocate Prashant Bhushan has 'monopolized' public spirit (as Bhushan appears in lots of PILs)

J Bagchi: Mr Bhushan is the original public-spirited person

SG: He is a perennial public-spirited person

J Bagchi: Mr Bhushan, ld. SG is saying that CCI may give you a notice on 'public spirited'

SG: He has monopolized public spirit and is in dominant position!

Bhushan: That can well happen in this regime!

The exchange took place in the DGP Appointments case, where locus of the petitioners is also sought to be assailed.
