Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is an important legal mechanism in India that allows individuals or organizations to approach the courts for the protection of public interest. It is generally filed under Article 32 or Article 226 of the Constitution of India when the rights of a large section of society are affected.
PIL is commonly used in matters related to environmental protection, human rights, social justice, corruption, public welfare, and protection of fundamental rights. Unlike ordinary cases, a PIL can be filed not only by the affected person but also by any public-spirited individual or organization acting in the interest of the public.
The Supreme Court and High Courts have the authority to issue directions, orders, or writs to ensure justice and protect the rights of the public.
