What is the simple meaning of Public Interest Litigation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Petition in court on a public interest issue

Public Interest Litigation, commonly called PIL, is a petition filed in court concerning an issue that affects the public or a disadvantaged group. It helps bring matters such as environmental harm, denial of basic rights, or unfair treatment before a court, even when the affected people may find it difficult to approach the court themselves. Thus option A is correct. PIL is not an election letter, sports activity, or budget document.

The key words are “public interest” and “petition.” A petition is a formal request asking a court to examine a problem and provide suitable relief. The issue must concern a wider public interest rather than only a private disagreement. Therefore, when the option describes a court petition on a public-interest issue, it gives the simple meaning of PIL and is the correct choice.
