Services Authority Act, 1987 has been enhanced
to Rs. 50,000/- per annum to extend the benefits
of the Act to more people.
4)
EMPHASIS ON COMPETENT AND QUALITY LEGAL SERVICES

hour for providing competent legal aid to the
applicant. Delhi Legal Services Authority takes
regular feed back of the Advocates on its panel
and strikes of the names of the Advocates who
fail to provide efficient services to the applicants/aided
persons. The Authority is always on a look out
to bring young, hard working and honest Advocates
on its panel.
5)

The
Authority is working collectively with Govt.
Departments and agencies has also teamed up
with Non-Governmental Organizations working
directly or indirectly in the field of Legal
Services. Most of the NGOs are registered.
6)
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY COUNSELLING CENTRES
Marriage
and family counseling centres being run by the
Authority has become extremely popular. This
centre is first of its kind in the country where
efforts are made to persuade the parties to
sort out their disputes and differences without
recourse to litigation. The centres have proved
their utility in as much as before giving legal
aid to eligible persons, every effort is made
to explore the possibility of a compromise between
the parties. In many cases, Counselors attached
to this Authority have succeeded in persuading
the parties involved in matrimonial disputes
to re-unite and live a happy marital life. In
those cases where reunion appears to be not
possible, the parties are motivated to go in
for mutual consent divorce and the issues relating
to maintenances, custody of the children, dowry
and permanent alimony are settled across the
table. The Marriage and Family Counselling Centres
are functioning from
