Problems Facing Public Interest Litigation in India | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

A crucial new legal remedy has been public interest litigation (PIL). For at least a portion of our exploited oppressed humanity, it has transformed the rhetoric of basic rights into a live reality. Undertrial inmates who spend disproportionately extended times in bars, asylum and care home residents who endure appalling living circumstances, kids who labour in dangerous jobs, and other marginalised groups. The majority of people were not aware of the rights were much less able to exercise them. As a consequence, there was practically any connection between the large majority of illiterate individuals on the one hand, and the laws passed by the government and the rights provided by the Indian Union Constitution on the other.
