Abstract
Public interest litigation has historically been an innovative judicial procedure for enhancing the social and economic rights of disadvanataged and marginalized groups in India. It has a vital role in the civil justice system in that it could achieve those objectives which could hardly be achieved through conventional private litigation. PIL for instance offers a ladder to justice to disadvantaged sections of society.
