Public Intrest Litigation (PIL)
At Nyay Sankalp Foundation, we believe justice must reach every citizen not just the privileged few. Through our Public-Interest Litigation (PIL) and Citizen Justice services, we help communities challenge injustices, demand accountability, and enforce public rights when governance or systems fail.
Impact Across the Nation
Over 150+ PILs filed in High Courts and the Supreme Court addressing issues of justice, equality, and transparency. Represented citizens from 23+ states, covering diverse social and legal issues.
Ensuring Justice for the Marginalized
Filed PILs to protect undertrials’ rights, women’s safety, juvenile justice, and prison reforms. Advocacy for speedy trials and humane prison conditions under Articles 21 and 39A.
Strengthening Governance and Accountability
PILs exposing public office corruption, misuse of funds, and delay in welfare delivery. Cases leading to policy reforms and improved government accountability. Over ₹50 crore worth of public funds safeguarded through transparency PILs.
Environment and Sustainable Justice
PILs filed for pollution control, waste management, and protection of rivers and forests. Secured directions for regular monitoring of environmental clearances. Partnered with local communities for on-ground follow-up and compliance tracking.
Legal Empowerment Through PILs
Each PIL followed by legal literacy sessions to help people understand their rights. Workshops conducted in 45+ districts on how citizens can use PILs as a tool for justice.
Advocacy Beyond Courtrooms
Post-PIL monitoring through Right to Information (RTI) applications and ground audits. Collaborations with law students, social activists, and journalists for policy research and documentation. Over 5000+ citizens impacted directly through reforms achieved from PIL outcomes.
