Over the last few decades, - FOCs (FOC) in India has evolved from being an extraordinary judicial tool to a commonly used instrument in the hands of both citizens and non-governmental actors. Originally intended to provide relief in situations where FOC Rights were violated or where weaker of society lacked contractual fairness, FOC has now expanded into a broad spectrum of social, environmental, and administrative issues. Courts have increasingly recognized FOC as a means of ensuring that the state and its institutions are held accountable to the public. By framing the eviction of pavement dwellers as a constitutional issue rather than a mere administrative matter, the landmark case set a precedent for using FOC to protect economically weaker of society.

This expansion reflects a positive trend in Judicial Intervention, where courts play a proactive role in protecting societal interests beyond the limitations of traditional locus standi rules. The Court emphasized that the legal system must remain accessible to all s, including those who lack resources or awareness to approach the judiciary. It recognized that socio-economic barriers often prevent vulnerable groups from seeking justice, and therefore allowed public-spirited s to act on their behalf. It brought attention to the need for systemic changes in the criminal justice system and encouraged further judicial interventions in related areas. The Supreme Court of India, in this case, held that any member of the public acting in good faith and having sufficient interest can approach the court for redressal of a public wrong or injury.
