Abstract

Our Indian constitution provides fundamental and other legal rights to all citizens and protects Article 32 and Article 226. But due to economic and other disabilities, many people are not able to enforce their rights. In such a situation, Public Interest Litigation is an instrument from which they can get assistance. The greatest contribution of PIL has been to enhance the accountability of the governments towards the human rights of the poor. The present paper discussed in detail about public interest litigation (PIL), its meaning, and its significance.
