The Role of Public Interest Litigations (PIL) in Social Justice
Public Interest Litigations (PIL) have emerged as a powerful tool for social justice in
India, allowing citizens to address grievances affecting the public at large. The
judiciary’s proactive stance on PILs has led to significant reforms in areas like
environmental protection, human rights, and corruption. Notable cases, such as
those addressing pollution and systemic government failures, underscore the
impact of PILs. As a lawyer, filing PILs requires a deep understanding of
constitutional law and the ability to identify issues of broad public concern.
Engaging in PILs can enhance your practice by contributing to societal change and
upholding the rule of law.
