Answers
An act to constitute legal services authorities to provide free and competent legal service to the weaker sections of the society to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizens by reason of economic or other disabilities, and to organize Lok Adalats to secure that the operation of the legal system promotes justice on a basis of equal opportunity.
India is a developing country. The development in the industrial sector is very much appreciable, but still this progress in the field of industrialization, marketing, finance, etc. cannot hide the indispensable drawbacks of our society like population explosion and illiteracy. These drawbacks, coupled with environmental and social hinges results in increase in poverty and lack of food for people.
It is true that the country is going through the phase of development but all the fruits of this tree are being en- cashed by those who stay in the upper half of the society. The poor resides in their own world of DARKNESS.
But those who are still neglected are the main foundation of the society that is to be remembered. So misusing their ignorance and encashing the fruits for the benefit of the upper half of our society is not at all good for the future of the country.
The society is divided into two parts, according to financial standard, namely HAVES and the HAVE NOTS. In our country with 100 million people, only a little part of the population comes within the purview of the HAVES, whereas, the Lion’s share is the HAVE NOTS.
The HAVE NOTS as well as the HAVES both looks for earning their livelihood, looking for the benefit of their family, giving a good future to the next generation, some are successful to it, some are not.
In this ways both categories of people spend most of their lives overlooking a lot of facts, intentionally or unintentionally, that a lot of wrongs are being done against them. Other people, or the Government or whoever may be is infringing their rights. But the wronged ones are not very eager to protest against the wrong doer. Even some times they are not knowledgeable enough that a wrong is being done against them.
If they do not know that a wrong is being done, it is a different scenario. But if they know about the fact, they are still not standing against it. As because, it may cause a lot of problem in their field of profession and might have to face a bigger loss. In this way they are actually ABATING THE WRONG.
So, for both the categories of people it is necessary to make them understand what sort of wrongs they actually are facing and the abatement is also causing a greater harm to the society and it can hamper the well being of their own next generation.
Keeping this fact in the mind the Government has taken up policies to spread awareness to the common mass through organizing different programmes held by different authorities, governmental or non-governmental. As the people of this country becomes aware about their legal rights, duties and liabilities they, themselves will understand how much better their lives can become.
Spreading the awareness about the rights of the people and how they are or can be infringed is the primary target of these authorities. So that the one who is wronged can himself realize that he has been wronged.
Once he has realized, that he has been wronged the question of redress arises. These authorities, governmental or non-governmental also provide the assistance, which is required by these wronged ones. These authorities provide HELP, in the legal field. This HELP is turned as LEGAL AID. These authorities and different other organizations hold such LEGAL AID CLINICS through the nation with the motto to help the VICTIMS.
Central Government has developed a plan and has also started to apply it by the help of the Legal Services Authorities, for this purpose. This authority spreads Legal Awareness amongst the citizens of our country, provides Legal Assistance like appointing advocates and giving advices to the people and also to suggest the Government different other plans relating this noble cause. These are the functions carried out by these organizations and authorities.
