Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Traditional litigation requires direct standing—only an aggrieved party files suits. PIL, in contrast, allows public-spirited persons to seek remedies for community welfare or behalf of those who cannot represent themselves. PIL expansions led to relaxed rules of locus standi and simplified procedures. It democratized access to the judiciary but also raised concerns over frivolous or publicity-driven petitions. Courts have sought to filter out misuses while preserving the essential public-service nature. PIL fosters accountability in environmental protection, prisoners’ rights, consumer issues, and more. Mastering these differences clarifies how India’s judiciary has adapted to address systemic injustices beyond individual grievances.
