Answer:
Public Interest Litigation, as it has developed in the recent years, marks a significant
departure of the traditional judicial proceedings. It was not a suddenly emerging concept. It
was an idea, which was in the making for a long time, before it came into existence, resulting
in vigorous growth in India. The Supreme Court takes over the main control of PIL. The
court is considered as an institution which not only provide relief to the citizens, but also as a
governing body which formulated the policy for PILs which the State has to follow. The
purpose of Public Interest Litigation is to make the basic fundamental rights meaningful to
the deprived and vulnerable group of community and to assure them the social, economic and
political justice, which is enshrined in the preamble of the constitution. It has been remarked
in the case of “Bandhu Mukti Morcha vs. Union of India”1
, that the number of people who
are aware of the legal rights is very large than those who are aware of it. Therefore, the
phenomenon of Public Interest Litigation plays a major role in serving the general public of
India, as it helps them to safeguard their fundamental rights as provides them justice. The
concept and procedure has been kept simpler as the purpose which it serves is of great
importance and much required. The idea of Public Interest Litigation has been widely
appreciated, and has also been successful to the maximum in order to serve its purpose. As
the scope of PIL widened, the misuse of PIL has taken an entry in the frame. The simple
procedure so framed, has started to corrupt now and then. There are number of cases which
have been recorded as a misuse of PIL. Therefore, the Supreme Court, in a landmark case has
laid down various guidelines, which are to be followed by the courts before entertaining a
PIL.
