Your Right, Your Fight: A Guide to Public Interest Litigation

Have you ever looked up at the sky, only to see smog instead of stars? Felt anger as a green patch is bulldozed for another mall? Witnessed injustice and wished you could act? You can, and Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is the tool you need. It allows you, an ordinary citizen, to take extraordinary action. Filing a PIL isn’t just about complaining—it’s about stepping up, taking responsibility, and being the leader.

Why File a PIL?

A PIL lets you fight for a greater cause—environment, human rights, public health, or education. It’s not just a petition; it’s power in your hands.

✔ Raise critical issues – Pollution, deforestation, inequality.
✔ Be the voice for the voiceless – Marginalized groups, nature, public health.
✔ Demand accountability – Ensure the government acts.

What Can a PIL Do?

• Make justice accessible – Even for the underprivileged.

• Push policy changes – Stronger laws, better governance.

• Hold institutions responsible – No more evading duty.

How to File a PIL

The book simplifies the process into six steps, even for non-lawyers. It explains key players: petitioners, respondents, intervenors, and the judiciary.
