Abstract

Public interest is a directive of conduct prescribing the protection of values common to society. There is an important issue of the limits of individual autonomy. From this point of view, references to the 'world's largest democracy' are included, as this article deals with the Indian public's desire to ensure that the country develops in a democratic direction, guaranteeing social justice, equality and freedom to its citizens. The historical remnants of drastic economic, social and cultural differences still
make themselves known. One important instrument, constitutionally guaranteed, is the institution of a public interest complaint, entitling any individual whose rights and freedoms have been violated or infringed to approach the Supreme Court of India or the state courts for redress of grievances. Indian jurisprudence is characterised by a high degree of axiological activity in bridging social disparities, which seems interesting from our national perspective
