Public interest litigation (PIL) serves as a powerful tool for enhancing governance by enabling citizens to challenge injustices through the legal system. PIL often addresses issues like human rights, environment, and public policy failures, thus holding the government accountable. Its implications for governance include promoting transparency and fostering a culture of accountability. However, it can also lead to governmental resistance and create tensions within judicial and executive domains. Overall, PIL can significantly advance the rule of law and empower marginal voices.
