Justice should not be a privilege, it should be the right of every citizen. But what happens when the system fails, when the voices of the common people are ignored, and when the powerful continue to exploit the weak? In such situations, Public Interest Litigation (PIL) becomes a weapon of change.

Sree Krishna Seelam’s book, Public Interest Litigation, is more than just a legal guide; it is a wake-up call for every Indian to understand their power in a democracy. This book simplifies the complex world of PILs, showing how ordinary people can challenge injustice and hold those in power accountable.

If you’ve ever felt helpless in the face of corruption, environmental destruction, or human rights violations, this book is your answer. It teaches you how to take legal action for the public good, ensuring that justice is not just for the rich and influential, but for everyone.

What is Public Interest Litigation?

Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is a legal tool that allows any citizen to file a case in court, not for personal gain, but for the benefit of society. It gives the common man the power to seek justice on behalf of those who cannot fight for themselves.

Unlike regular lawsuits, a PIL does not require the person filing it to be directly affected by the issue. If you see injustice happening anywhere—against the poor, the environment, or public health—you have the right to take it to court.

PILs have changed India. Some of the biggest social reforms, from banning child labor to protecting forests, happened because of PILs filed by responsible citizens.

How PILs Have Transformed India

Public Interest Litigation has played a crucial role in shaping modern India. Some landmark PIL cases that changed the country include:

1. The Vishaka Case (Workplace Harassment Laws)

Before this PIL, there were no laws protecting women from sexual harassment at the workplace. Thanks to the case, India now has strict workplace safety laws for women.

2. Right to Food Case

A PIL forced the government to provide midday meals in schools, ensuring that millions of poor children receive proper nutrition.

3. Environmental Protection Cases

Many PILs have saved India’s forests, rivers, and wildlife from destruction. From banning polluting industries near the Taj Mahal to stopping deforestation, PILs have been the voice of nature.

4. Prisoner Rights & Police Reforms

PILs have helped improve conditions in Indian jails, ensuring basic human rights for prisoners and reforms in police procedures to prevent custodial deaths.

Each of these victories started with a single person deciding to take action.
