Abstract

In the Indian legal system, Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has become a game-changing weapon that enables people and groups to ask the court to intervene on behalf of the public, especially for those who are unable to defend themselves. By extending the idea of “locus standi”, PIL, which was first introduced in the late 1970s, has completely changed access to justice and made it possible for anybody who genuinely cares about societal issues to petition the courts. This mechanism’s promotion of social justice, accountability, and transparency has had a major impact on administrative law in India.
