Public Interest Cases, also known as PIL (Public Interest Litigation) cases, are a type of legal proceeding that allows individuals or groups to seek legal remedies for issues that affect the public at large. These cases typically involve matters of social, environmental, or economic importance, and are filed with the intention of promoting public welfare and the greater good.
In Bangladesh, Public Interest Cases have become an important tool for addressing a wide range of social and environmental issues, such as air pollution, water pollution, land use, access to healthcare and education, human rights violations, and corruption. The Bangladesh Constitution guarantees citizens the right to bring such cases before the courts to seek redress for grievances that affect the public interest.
Public Interest Cases can be filed in various courts in Bangladesh, including the High Court Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. These cases can be filed by individuals, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or other groups with a legitimate interest in the matter. The courts have the power to issue directions, orders, and judgments to protect the public interest, and can require government agencies and other entities to take specific actions to address the issues at hand.
