What Is The Process To Hire The Best Lawyer To File Pil?

Public Interest Litigation is litigation in the interest of the public. It is the power provided to the general public to raise their voices for public issues in the court of law. PIL is a legal action taken by a public-spirited person so as to protect the public interest.


An individual who believes that injustice is being committed against the public or society, could approach the court for judicial remedies.


PIL could be filed for-


As mentioned earlier, PIL could be filed for matters related to public interest mostly. Some of the important issues for which PIL could be filed have been mentioned below-

  • Violation of fundamental rights or some other legal right guaranteed by the laws.

  • If basic human rights of the poor have been violated.

  • Ensuring that the government authorities or municipal authorities perform their public duty

  • Conduct of the government policy

Who can file PIL?


Previously, a person whose interest was directly affected along with others could file a PIL. Now, however, any ‘public-spirited’ person could file a PIL on the behalf of a person or a group of persons whose rights have been affected. Thus, it is not necessary that the person filing the PIL should have direct interest in the matter; the PIL should not be filed for private reasons but for the good of the public at large.


How does a lawyer help filing the PIL?


A lawyer could help you with the procedure of preparing, filing and presenting your PIL in the appropriate court. A PIL advocate has the necessary experience in PIL matters. With the increase in the number of frivolous and bizarre PILs, the courts have become wary of accepting every PIL filed. Every PIL is scrutinised in great detail by the Courts after which the decision regarding the acceptance is taken.

A good and experienced PIL lawyer would ensure that your PIL has good motive and would get rejected for want of sufficient reason.


A experienced would ensure that your petition is drafted properly and without unnecessary continent and errors. Your lawyer would also ensure that your PIL is filed in the correct court and thus reducing the chances of it getting rejected.


Where can a PIL are filed?

Supreme Court and the High Courts have the authority to entertain Public Interest Litigation in accordance to the subject matter of the petition under Article 32 and 226 of the Constitution.


Issues over which a PIL cannot be filed-

The Supreme Court has set some guidelines, based on which certain matters could not allowed in the form of PILs-

  • Matters related to services.

  • Tenant and landlord matters

  • Gratuity and pension matters.

  • Matters involving admission to medical and other educational institutions.

  • Petitions for early hearing of cases pending in the High Court or other subordinate courts

  • Any complaint against the Central and State government departments and local bodies, accepts those mentioned by the Supreme Court in the guidelines.
