Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana on April 30 said that Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has now turned into 'Personal Interest Litigation' to stall projects and terrorise public authorities.
“Well-meaning intentions behind Public Interest Litigation (PIL) are misused as it has turned into 'Personal Interest Litigation' to stall projects and terrorise public authorities. It has become a tool to settle scores with political and corporate rivals,” CJI Ramana said while addressing the Joint Conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts at Vigyan Bhawan.
