Question

in what way public interest litigation helps the poor

Answer 1

Public interest litigation are matters of public importance that are placed before courts for jurisdiction. Since these relate to social and public interest, they generally help the poor, deprived sections of society who otherwise do not know how, where and whom to approach to fight for their grievances. 

Answer 2

Answer:

• Since 1979, the court has changed the trend for the poor in the situation or case, if the case was filed by others on behalf of aggrieved persons.

• This case involved an important issue of public interest which involved the betterment of life conditions of the poor.

• Even the voluntary organisations sought judicial intervention for protection of existing rights of the poor.
