Addressing a gathering after inaugurating a camp module as part of pan-India legal awareness and outreach programme from October 2 to November 14 held at the district headquarters on Sunday, Justice Lalit said that extending free legal aid service commenced about 25 years ago. “If we look at statistics, out of 100 cases not even one case is coming to legal services authority seeking legal aid. We have to create confidence and it should be accessible like any other services and it should be of good quality,” he said, adding that legal aid should be ‘Raja Marga’ for entering the temple of justice and people should have confidence in the system and it should be a comfort zone for those seeking justice. He stressed the need to reach all villages at least thrice in the 45 days campaign.
Referring to the video that was presented in the programme on the activities of Telangana State Legal Services Authority (TSLSA), Justice Lalit said that two clips – para legal volunteer stopping a justice seeker from paying amount to a lawyer and extending him assistance and extending help to acid attack victim and compensation – have moved him very much and pointed out where the legal services authority stands for. He opined that these need to be translated to other languages.
