About PIL
Public interest litigation is defined as the use of litigation, or legal action, which seeks to advance the cause of minority or disadvantaged groups or individuals, or which raises issues of broad public concern.
Put simply, it is a way of using the law to create and sustain social change for the most vulnerable in our society by pursuing litigation that can have an impact beyond one individual; litigation that will have a knock on effect to protect and promote the rights of a wide number of disadvantaged of people or groups.
