ABSTRACT
Access to Justice is a basic human right, yet it is a distant dream for the economically
weak and deprived section of the country. Free legal aid is an initiative to provide
protection of law to the weak, poor and illiterate and ensure them equal justice. Legal
aid extended by legal service authorities is meant for those people who cannot bear the
expenses of lawyers’ fees and expenses. The concept of legal aid coincides with the
Preamble of the constitution of India that secures to all its citizens Social, Economic and
political Justice. The importance of this concept can be gauged from the fact that 30%
of Indian population is living below the poverty line. As per international poverty line,
India has the largest number of people living under poverty line. Due to the poor
implementation of the welfare schemes, more than 90% workforce in India falls under
unorganized sector. There is a need to revamp the socio-economic structure for the
people, in need of justice, to be empowered.
