Explanation
Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is a judicial innovation in India, pioneered by Justice P.N. Bhagwati and Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer. It relaxes the traditional rule of locus standi, allowing any public-spirited individual to approach the court on behalf of those who, due to social or economic disabilities, cannot do so themselves.
The Rule of Law necessitates that justice be accessible to all citizens regardless of their status. By providing the socially and economically weaker sections with a mechanism to seek redressal for the violation of their rights, PIL ensures that the legal system is inclusive and the executive remains accountable. Thus, the Reason (R) directly explains why PIL is considered essential for upholding the Rule of Law (A) in the Indian context.
