Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Today, we explore Public Interest Litigation (PIL), a crucial judicial tool in the US and India designed to represent overlooked groups.

PIL emerged in the 1960s to serve unrepresented groups like the poor and minorities, promoting social justice where traditional legal services failed.
In India, PIL was introduced in the early 1980s by Justices V.R. Krishna Iyer and P.N. Bhagwati. It allows any public-spirited citizen to seek justice for disadvantaged groups, addressing broader social issues.
PIL is a legal action for public interest, focusing on societal rather than individual disputes. It involves cooperation between petitioners, authorities, and the court.
The Supreme Court of India prioritizes public importance issues in PIL, relaxing the 'locus standi' rule to allow broader participation and discouraging frivolous petitions.

PIL ensures justice for marginalized groups and upholds the rule of law, addressing large-scale constitutional and legal rights violations.
