Public Interest Litigation (hereafter referred to as PIL) is regarded to be a kind of judicial activism that renders justice dealing with the safeguarding and fortification of public interests. It is the power given to the public by Court of Law. In a PIL, vigilant citizens of the country get an affordable legal remedy as there is only a nominal court fee involved in this process. Further, by means of a PIL, the litigants get equipped with the weapon to fight larger public domain issues, especially in the fields of human rights, consumer welfare and environment. Modern society uses PIL as a tool to curb social evils such as corruption. India, as we all know suffers from a staid ailment called as corruption and to tackle it, PIL is actively used. PIL offers a ladder to justice for the disadvantaged sections of society and provides an avenue to enforce diffused or collective rights, while allowing the informed citizenry to participate in the decision making.
Hence it is very essential to investigate the credibility and traits on the impact of PIL in tackling corruption. Will the so-called Litigation tool be an effective weapon to fight the ‘big fishes’ of the society?
