The bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana intervened and said the senior advocates should not engage in a war of words like this.
A war of words broke out in the Supreme Court today between Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Supreme Court Bar Association president Vikas Singh during the hearing in the air pollution matter.
There was a heated exchange of words between them after Mr Mehta, appearing for the centre, submitted that "my only agenda is to reduce pollution and not to introduce private individuals".
The Solicitor General's submission allegedly targeting two petitioners was protested by Mr Singh, who said there is no agenda (on the part of petitioners) other than to reduce pollution.
"I take strong objection to the allegation that there is an agenda. The agenda is only pollution. He is saying there is an agenda. What nonsense is this? Is it proper for the Solicitor General to say this? Last time he said my petition is against Central Vista. Every Time he makes a comment like this," said Mr Singh, who was appearing for activist petitioners Aditya Dubey and Aman Banka.
