Supreme Court yesterday pulled up eminent lawyer Prashant Bhushan on the credentials of his NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL). The functioning of the NGO, came under severe scrutiny by the apex Court, when it voiced concern that rival commercial litigants could be using the NGO as an instrument to settle scores. <br/><br/>The court noted that 50 PILs have been filed by CPIL over the years, but it was of the impression that the NGO did not have any credible mechanism to verify the information which formed the basis for filing the PILs. A bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur made this observation during the hearing of a PIL filed by CPIL challenging the grant of 4G licences to Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (RJIL).
