Public Interest Litigation.
G.L.N. Prasad (Retired employee.) 25 December 2020
It depends on the circumstances it is used. Postal Life Insurance is one among those. Legally Public interest Litigation is the apt explanation where some citizens refer the issue concerning the interest of public refers a matter for adjudication, and they are not interested in that issue individually. While entertaining such petitions, the Judges goes into very deep into the antecedents of the petition, to find out whether the party is directly or indirectly interested personally in the issue. I am aware in one such matter the Judge ordered for production of last three years income tax returns from a well known RTI Activist when he referred long delay by Information commissions in disposing the second appeals.
