How did Public Interest Litigation widen access to justice?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By allowing petitions on public issues on behalf of affected people

Direct answer: B is correct. Public Interest Litigation, or PIL, allows a public-spirited person or organisation to approach the court about a matter affecting a wider group, especially people who may be too poor, vulnerable or unable to reach the court themselves. This changes access to justice from a purely individual lawsuit into a way of seeking protection for a public group or public interest. The court still examines whether the matter is genuine and appropriate; PIL is not permission to file every personal complaint. A is wrong because PIL seeks to reduce barriers, not reserve litigation for the rich. C is wrong because PIL uses courts rather than closing them. D is wrong because PIL supports the protection of rights. Memory cue: PIL means a public issue can be raised for people who cannot effectively speak in court themselves.
