Which judgment is based on a letter written by a research SCHOLAR to one advocate practising at Supreme Court, named?

Ms. Kapila Hingorani

M.C. Mehta

Kailash Satyarthe

Praveen Bansal

Explanation:

- Ms. Kapila Hingorani: Known as the mother of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in India. She filed the first PIL in India, which led to the release of many undertrial prisoners. This was inspired by a letter from a research scholar outlining the plight of these prisoners.

- M.C. Mehta: Renowned environmental lawyer associated with various landmark environmental laws and judgments. His cases focus on protecting the environment, not connected to an initial letter.

- Kailash Satyarthi: Nobel laureate and child rights activist. He is recognized for his work on child labor but not specifically linked to a judgment based on a research scholar's letter.

- Praveen Bansal: Not widely recognized in a context related to significant judgments or PIL based on letters from scholars.

Ms. Kapila Hingorani is the correct answer.
