01 In which situation would the use of PIL be most appropriate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. An organization approaches court for rights of children affected by child labour
Explanation: PIL is most appropriate when a genuine legal or constitutional problem affects the public, a group, or vulnerable people who may be unable to approach the court themselves. Child labour concerns exploitation, dignity, education, and the protection of children as a disadvantaged group. An organisation seeking judicial attention for those children therefore presents a public cause rather than a private commercial dispute, making option A correct. Buying a mobile is an individual consumer choice, selecting a jersey colour is a personal or sporting matter, and changing a shop sign is an ordinary business decision. These alternatives do not show the broad rights-based concern required for PIL.
