Correct Answer

Option: d

Explanation

The phrase “file a PIL, ostensibly in public interest but, in fact, to serve personal or private interests” means filing PIL alleging it to be in public interest but actually seeking protection of private interest. Public Interest Litigation which has now come to occupy an important field in the administration of law should not be “publicity interest litigation” or “private interest litigation” or “politics interest litigation” or the latest trend “paise income litigation”
