Legal Services Authorities Act

The Legal Services Authorities Act of 1987 in India establishes institutions to provide free and accessible legal aid to those who cannot afford it, ensuring everyone’s right to fair legal representation. It creates a framework for legal service authorities at national, state, and district levels, focusing on vulnerable groups like the poor, marginalized, and disadvantaged. The Act promotes justice by making legal services widely available, transparent, and accountable, aiming to uphold constitutional principles and ensure equal access to justice for all citizens.
