Article 19 of the Act provides for the establishment of Lok Adalats. Legal service agencies at all levels, including central, state, and district levels, organize Lok Adalats. The Lok Adalats serve as an alternative dispute settlement system. Its purpose is to settle pending or untried cases. It consists of bailiffs or an authorized person under the jurisdiction of the state, central or local government. After the disputes between the parties have been resolved and the parties have agreed, the award is made by arbitrators in accordance with section 21 of the Act. The arbitral award has the same legal effect as a court decision. There are different levels of legal aid, including provisions on legal aid for illiterate, poor and physically disabled people who do not have access to justice because of ignorance of the law or financial constraints. Any person entitled to legal aid under section 12 of the Act may obtain legal aid under the Act. National Legal Service Day (NLSD) was proclaimed on November 9, 2009, the day the law came into force.

According to the law, legal aid must be granted by the authorities/commissions of the State, District and Taluk Legal Service established throughout the country in order to carry out a reorientation aimed at ensuring equal opportunities and fairness for all. Through its various forms of legal assistance, the NLSD promotes equal opportunity and justice for all citizens. 2. It focuses on setting up legal aid clinics in law schools, universities, etc. In accordance with Article 39A of the Constitution of India, all citizens are entitled to free legal aid and equal justice through appropriate laws, systems or other means to ensure that no citizen is denied access to justice on the basis of economic or other disadvantage. The Legal Services Act of 1987 was enacted as a result of this constitutional provision with the main purpose of providing free and competent legal services to the weaker sections of the country`s society. A person who wishes to defend himself or file a case in court, but who does not have the means to hire a lawyer, may request the assistance of a free lawyer. The law states that free legal aid is available and that the council is responsible for helping those in need to obtain justice. By adopting and establishing this philosophy, Indian courts should be relieved of the burden of deciding cases. The Legal Services Authority Act of 1987 is based primarily on district, state and central hierarchical legal services, criteria for granting legal aid, lok adalat and free legal aid. The hierarchical system of legal services in India exists at three levels.

You are: – Any service rendered and any amount invoiced in connection with a case or legal proceeding before a court or other authority or tribunal of a legal nature, and; A State Legal Services Authority has been established in each State and a High Court Legal Services Committee has been established in each High Court. District Legal Services Authorities, Taluk Legal Services Committees have been trained in districts and most Taluks to implement NALSA policies and instructions and provide free legal services to the population and conduct lok adalats in the state. The poor and illiterate should have access to legal aid. It is not necessary for a person to be a litigator to receive legal aid. According to Article 39A of the Constitution of India, it is the duty of the State to ensure that the legal system operates on an equal basis and, in particular, that it shall ensure the provision of free legal aid to ensure access to justice for citizens of all economic categories. In addition, articles 14 and 22, paragraph 1, oblige the State to ensure equality before the law and a legal system that promotes justice from the point of view of equal opportunities. The purpose of legal aid is to ensure that the letter and spirit of the law is applied and that the weakest, poorest and most oppressed segments of society are treated fairly and equally. The law stipulates that no one shall be deprived of access to justice because of disability or economic reasons, and aims to educate the public about the law, provide free legal aid and establish Lok Adalats. Following the establishment of Lok Adalats, the process of jurisdiction in the country was revolutionized. A large number of pending cases are still before the country`s courts. The Government has already taken a number of measures to reduce the number of pending cases.

In addition to providing a complementary forum for conciliation, the plan has been successful in providing an additional forum for litigants. 8. They have established policies and arrangements for the provision of legal services. Under section 12 of the Legal Services Authorities Act 1987,[9] free legal aid is granted to the following categories of citizens:[10][11] The National Legal Services Authority was established under section 3 of the Act. However, the organizational chart of the body shows that the members are already all overwhelmed by the assigned tasks of their main work; Therefore, a slight amendment to Article 3 is necessary.
