‘Constitution has made provisions for extending legal assistance to the poor’
Judge of the High Court of Karnataka S. Sunil Dutt Yadav has said that priority is being given to provide quality justice to all eligible, financially backward and those seeking justice, through the Legal Services Authority.
He was inaugurating a legal awareness programme organised as part of the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence and Legal Services Day in Dharwad on Tuesday. The programme was jointly organised by the District Legal Services Authority, the district administration, the Dharwad Bar Association, the Department of Health and Family Welfare and the Department of Information and Public Relations.
Mr. Yadav said that the Constitution has made provisions for extending legal assistance to the feeble and also create legal awareness among them. “The judiciary has, through the National Legal Services Authority, initiated steps for extending free legal aid and for creating legal awareness. Advocates joining hands with the judiciary in this endeavour will make the programme more meaningful,” he said.
