Public Interest Litigation (PIL), which expanded access to justice, was developed by Supreme Court through judicial innovation, not by constitutional amendment.
- True
- False
Answer: True
PIL evolved through judicial activism in 1980s (S.P. Gupta case, 1981): SC relaxed locus standi, allowing any public-spirited person to file petitions for enforcement of rights of disadvantaged groups. Not created by constitutional amendment but by expansive interpretation of Article 32. Democratized access to justice.
