Xl: i think we must disagree on this point. Wikipedia has the following on p.i.l's
In Indian law, Public Interest Litigation (PIL) OR जनहित याचिका means litigation for the protection of the public interest. It is litti introduced in a court of law, not by the aggrieved party but by the court itself or by any other private party. It is not necessary, for the exercise of the court's jurisdiction, that the person who is the victim of the violation of his or her right should personally approach the court. In Public Interest Litigation, the power to file a suit is given to a member of the public by the courts etc through judicially conscious judicial activism.That member of the public can be a NGO, Institution or an individual.

That pretty much means you can file a p.i.l. Even if you arent the affected party
