The under mentioned three schemes are being implemented by this Authority for providing free legal services: -
1.
This scheme has been introduced for representation of indigent accused “during remand hours” in judicial courts exercising magisterial powers. During such proceedings, the advocates on the panel of the District Legal Services Authorities give legal assistance to the persons in custody, for opposing remand applications, securing orders for bail and moving such miscellaneous application on their behalf as may be required.
2.
Under this scheme, advocates on the panel of every District Legal Services Authority visit the jails, once a week, for collecting applications from inmates and helping them in the matter of drafting their appeals, petitions etc., so that the jail inmates do not feel that they have no opportunity for the redressal of their legal grievances.
3.
Representation under this category by way to providing free legal service is of two types, one of which is to represent the accused who is unable to engage a counsel on his own and the other representation is by way of providing free legal service for filing or defending an “aided person” in civil matters. |
