Judicial activism refers to the dynamic role of the judiciary in which the SC and HC have protected the rights of the deprived sections of the Indian society by giving liberal interpretation to the fundamental rights through public interest litigations. The role of the judiciary has evolved over time and has expanded from being limited to mere dispute resolution to social change and protection of constitutional values. Judicial activism has emerged as a powerful tool in this process. On the one hand, it has contributed significantly to the protection of fundamental rights, the establishment of social justice, and the accountability of governance.
