Q. Who was the Chief Justice of India when Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was introduced to the Indian Judicial System?
Answer:
P.N.Bhagwati
Notes: In August 1985, P.N.Bhagwati became Chief Justice of India. As a Supreme Court judge, Bhagwati introduced the concepts of public interest litigation and absolute liability to the Indian judicial system. He is therefore held, along with Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer, to have pioneered judicial activism in the country.
