How did PIL make access to justice easier?

Correct answer: By simplifying approach to court in public interest

Direct answer: A is correct. Public Interest Litigation, or PIL, allows a person or organisation to approach a court about an issue that affects the public or a disadvantaged group, even when the petitioner is not the only person directly harmed. This is important because poor, exploited, imprisoned, or otherwise vulnerable people may not have the money, knowledge, or confidence to file a case themselves. By accepting a genuine public-interest petition and relaxing some procedural requirements, the court can examine violations of rights and direct public authorities to act according to law. PIL does not mean that courts are opened without rules or that every personal complaint automatically becomes a public-interest case. B is wrong because closing courts would reduce access to justice. C is the opposite of the purpose of PIL, which seeks to include affected and weaker groups. D is wrong because the Election Commission conducts elections and is not a court. Memory cue: PIL brings a public problem before the court when affected people cannot easily reach it themselves.
