It is not necessary that the aggrieved party has to be the one to do so . Poverty stricken people may not have the means to do so and therefore, in the public interest, anyone can commence litigation in the court on their behalf . This is known as "Public interest litigation". In some cases, High Court judges have acted suo moto on their own on the basis of newspaper reports . </P> <P> These fundamental rights help not only in protection but also the prevention of gross violations of human rights . They emphasise on the fundamental unity of India by guaranteeing to all citizens the access and use of the same facilities, irrespective of background . Some fundamental rights apply for persons of any nationality whereas others are available only to the citizens of India . The right to life and personal liberty is available to all people and so is the right to freedom of religion . On the other hand, freedoms of speech and expression and freedom to reside and settle in any part of the country are reserved to citizens alone, including non-resident Indian citizens . The right to equality in matters of public employment cannot be conferred to overseas citizens of India . </P>
