I’m facing issues with the Pune Municipal Corporation and the Irrigation Department, and I want to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Bombay High Court. Do I need to send a notice two months in advance? Can I simply submit a letter to the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court to initiate the PIL? How do I know if my PIL will be accepted?

While sending a notice two months in advance is not mandatory for filing a PIL in the Bombay High Court, it is generally advisable to give the concerned authorities an opportunity to address the issue before approaching the court. You can submit a letter to the Chief Justice, but it is better to file a formal PIL application through a lawyer. The court will decide whether to accept your PIL based on its merit and relevance to public interest.
