How does Public Interest Litigation increase access to justice?

Correct answer: By bringing public interest issues to court

Public Interest Litigation increases access to justice by allowing an issue affecting the public to be brought before a court. It can draw attention to harm or rights violations that affect many people, especially groups who may lack money, information, or power to file an ordinary case themselves. Therefore, option A is correct. PIL does not conduct elections, appoint ministers, or collect taxes; those are functions of other institutions.

To identify the answer, focus on the phrase “access to justice.” Justice becomes more accessible when a public problem can be formally presented to a court and the court can examine it. The petition may seek protection of rights or a remedy for a public wrong. Thus bringing public-interest issues to court directly explains how PIL helps people reach the justice system.
