Why do you think the introduction of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the 1980s is a significant step in ensuring access to justice for all?

- Before the 1980s filing of litigation into the courts was very costly.
- The poor could not afford to go to courts.
- Since the 1980s, the people can file their case through a letter or a telegram addressed to the Supreme Court or the High Courts without spending any money. The Courts take it as PIL (Public Interest Litigation).
- Thus, it is a significant step in ensuring access to justice to all the citizens.
