Solution

The correct option is A Hussainara Khatoon vs. Secretary, State of Bihar
Explanation:

In 1979, Kapila Hingorani filed a petition in the SC before it was heard by a Bench led by Justice P N Bhagwati. Hingorani is called the ‘Mother of PILs’ as a result of this successful case. The court permitted Hingorani to pursue a case in which she had no personal locus standi, making PILs a permanent fixture in Indian jurisprudence.
