Explanation:

- Option 1: Bandhuva Mukti Morcha Vs. Union of India, 1983

This case was pivotal in highlighting the role of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) as a tool for making basic human rights meaningful to the marginalized section of the community. The Supreme Court recognized PILs as a means to assure social and economic justice to the deprived and vulnerable sections.

- Option 2: SP Gupta Vs. Union of India, 1981

This judgment is notable for expanding the concept of locus standi, allowing a broader range of people to file PILs, but it doesn't specifically address the assurance of social and economic justice in detail.

- Option 3: Hussainara Khatoon Vs. Home Secretary, State of Bihar

This case primarily addressed the rights of undertrial prisoners and the need for speedy trials in the context of judicial reforms.

- Option 4: Olga Tellis & Ors. Vs. Bombay Municipal Corporation, 1985

This judgment focused on the right to livelihood under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, granting protection to pavement dwellers.
