PIL: Power, Purpose, and People's Rights – By Sree Krishna Seelam

Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is one of India’s strongest democratic tools—allowing ordinary citizens to fight for justice and protect public rights. Yet many hesitate, thinking it’s too complex.

Sree Krishna Seelam’s book, “PIL: Power, Purpose, and People’s Rights – A Common Man’s Guide to Filing a Public Interest Litigation in India,” breaks it down in simple terms. It explains what a PIL is, why it matters, and how anyone can use it to bring important issues—like human rights or environmental concerns—before the courts.

With step-by-step guidance and real examples, the book makes legal action accessible to everyone. More than a guide, it’s a call to action: reminding us that change begins when common people raise their voice.
