Public Interest Litigation System is a system of litigation for public interest i.e. it is a case filed in the interest of the public by a representative of the public. PIL was started to protect the fundamental rights of people who are poor, ignorant or in socially or economically disadvantaged position. it is different from ordinary litigation, in that it is not filed by one private person against the other for enforcement of a personal right. the presence of 'public interest' is important to file a PIL. the first reported case of PIL dates back to 1979. it focused on the inhuman conditions of prisons and under trial prisoners.
