How does a mechanism like PIL change access to justice for a poor citizen?

Correct answer: It can bring the voice of people with fewer resources to court in the public interest

Direct answer: A is correct. Public Interest Litigation, or PIL, can allow a person or organisation to approach a court about a matter affecting the public or people who cannot easily approach the court themselves. Poverty, illiteracy, social disadvantage or lack of resources may prevent affected people from filing a case. PIL can therefore bring their concerns before the judiciary and widen access to justice, while the court still examines whether the matter is genuine and legally appropriate. A is correct because it connects public interest with weaker access to legal remedies. B is wrong because courts are not reserved for wealthy citizens. C is wrong because becoming an MP is not a general requirement for approaching a court. D is wrong because courts are constitutionally independent and do not generally require government permission to hear a proper case. Memory cue: PIL means public interest reaching the court.
