Judicial review is when the Supreme Court can strike down a law or government action that violates our Constitution, and Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is a tool that lets someone like me approach the Court on behalf of a community without the usual formalities. For example, a PIL forced the municipality to finally test the water in our handpumps after years of yellow, smelly water. But the real truth? That court order is gathering dust in some collector's office, while we still buy Bisleri for my sister to study with. The law from Delhi feels very far away when your own fight for clean paani stays stuck in files.
