Public Interest Litigation refers to

  • A.Mechanism to provide justice out of the Court.
  • B.To provide speedy justice.
  • C.To provide justice to poor, needy and weaker sections of society with the help of the NGOs' and media.
  • D.None of the above.

Answer: C

Public Interest Litigation is litigation that lets a public-spirited person or organisation approach the court for the benefit of poor, needy and weaker sections who cannot reach it themselves, often with the help of NGOs and the media. It relaxes the rule of locus standi. It is not a mechanism for justice outside the court, since it works through the High Courts and the Supreme Court. Speedy justice may be a hoped-for result but is not its definition, and 'none of the above' is wrong because the third option fits.
