Public Interest Litigation: Power, Purpose & People's Right

Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is a legal concept that empowers ordinary citizens to seek justice on behalf of the public, especially when the law is being violated or rights are being infringed upon. In his book on PIL, Sree Krishna offers a comprehensive, yet easily understandable guide to this crucial aspect of Indian law.

The book opens with a simple explanation of what PIL is: a mechanism that allows individuals or groups to approach the courts when the rights of the public or marginalized communities are under threat. PIL has become a powerful tool in India, enabling citizens to address issues such as environmental degradation, human rights violations, and government accountability. Sree Krishna’s approach is unique in that he doesn’t just explain the legalities; he dives into real-life examples where PIL has been successfully used to bring about change. From the landmark cases that have shaped India’s legal landscape to the stories of ordinary people who fought against injustice, the book resonates with the human side of law. This approach makes PIL seem less like a complicated legal process and more like an accessible tool for everyday citizens.

The human touch in the book comes through in the way Sree Krishna describes the emotional journey of those who take their cases to the court under PIL. It’s not just about law; it’s about fighting for the greater good. The book inspires readers to realize that they have the power to stand up for what’s right, even when the odds seem stacked against them. Whether you’re a law student, an activist, or just someone interested in how the legal system can work for the common good, Sree Krishna’s book on PIL is an eye-opener and a call to action. It proves that the law can be a force for positive change—one person at a time.
