Public Interest Litigation by Dr. Mamta Rao is greatly admired and read by practitioners and students. The book reflects the concern of the judiciary in protecting and preserving the right of an individual to file a PIL and at the same time addresses the increasing problem of rampant misuse of PIL. The chapter on ‘Legal Aid and Lok Adalats’ has greatly enlarged the scope of the book.
