Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The system of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in India was introduced by judicial initiative, particularly by the Supreme Court of India, to make justice accessible to the poor and marginalized sections of society. It allows individuals or groups to file petitions in the courts for the enforcement of rights of other people, especially when they are unable to do so themselves. This was not introduced through a constitutional amendment, by political parties, or by a parliamentary act, but rather evolved through the interpretation of Article 32 and Article 226 of the Indian Constitution by the judiciary.
