After the introduction, important cases are given along with the glossary of legal terms and sample PIL petitions, which makes it a comphrehensive practical guide for a layman.Practicing lawyers, law students and the general law fraternity would find the book of immense use, as it encapsulates both the theory and the practice of PIL.
