Public Interest Litigation is an example of which doctrine?
Judicial Activism
Public Interest Litigation (PIL) allows any public-spirited citizen or organisation to approach the court on behalf of those who cannot seek justice themselves.
Through PIL, the judiciary steps in proactively to protect fundamental rights and address matters of public concern, relaxing the traditional rule of locus standi.
This proactive role of the courts in enforcing rights and shaping policy is described as judicial activism.
Judicial review deals with examining the validity of laws, while executive action and judicial neutrality are unrelated concepts. Hence, PIL is an example of Judicial Activism.
