Legal Aid, Human Rights, ConstitutionAbstract
The Legal Aid implies giving free legal services to the poor and needy who cannot afford the services of a lawyer for the conduct of a case or a legal proceeding in any court, tribunal or before an authority. Legal Aid is the method adopted to ensure that no one is deprived of professional advice and help because of lack of funds. Therefore, the main object is to provide equal justice is to be made available to the poor, down trodden and weaker section of society. Legal aid is to be made available to the poor and needy by providing a system of government funding for those who cannot afford the cost of litigation. "A just society is the one where justice prevails throughout alike .To have equal right to approach the court is rendered useless if the right can't be exercised. It is then, nothing more than a paper promise .The rich and influential can approach the courts because they have means, but the poor have to face injustice simply because they have no money to hire a lawyer. It is therefore in the interest of justice to establish a social order when the poor not only have the right but also the means to seek justice. The idea of legal aid to the poor is, thus a step in this direction.
