Court Intervention

I have posted a query on Transport Woes in the Expert's forum. The facts in the issue are very glaring that though every citizen is aware of the plight, no concrete steps have been initiated to set things in order. Public Interest Litigation do not necessarily yield the desired results to highlight the matters which are detrimental to Public Interest at large. My specific doubts are summed up as under:
(a) As in the case of high profile matters, under which circumstances the Court intervenes into the matters which are detrimental to public interests?
(b) What are the Constitutional provisions and obligations on the part of the Apex or High Courts to question the authority of the State ?
(c) Is there any Judicial Committee which monitors the matters which upset the peace and tranquility in the State on account of misdemeanors of Public Authorities?
(d) Are there any precedents which match the similar facts where interests of common citizens are protected by the intervention of Courts?
(e) Whether any High Court is vested with any constitutional powers to question the acts of the State in the absence of any Public Interest Litigation?
I need specific point-war guidance from the expert panel in the interest of Common Citizens.
