With apologies for cross-posting.

Another data point from IndianKanoon.org - an electronic repository of
Indian law and Indian court judgements. 19,729 hits for ""public
interest". It would be useful learn if this is an established legal
concept in other jurisdictions. Maybe we will commission a paper on
this before the Global Congress.

Indian legal tradition / state regulation has deployed and defined
public interest for some time now.
