PARTICULARS OF ORGANISATION, FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES

Delhi Legal Services Authority constituted under Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 (as amended in 2002) is working vigorously and is rendering immense invaluable services in providing free legal aid and advice specially to the poor, down trodden, women, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, handicapped, children labour/factory workers and other backward section of the society. The authority is striving hard to contribute its best towards achieving the motto “JUSTICE FOR ALL”. The Legal Services Authority has been holding programmes to promote the legal awareness amongst women and children by reason of their physical and mental immaturity, safeguard and care including appropriate legal protection.

The object of the Act is to provide free, efficient and satisfactory legal services to the weaker sections of society to ensure that opportunity for securing justice is not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or other disabilities; and to organize Lok Adalats to secure quick justice at cheaper costs.

The Act among other things conceives three functions by the Legal Services Authorities, they are (1) Organizing the legal literacy programmes so that the people may be made aware of their legal rights and the process by which they can have access to justice. (2) to provide free legal assistance. (3) to organize Lok Adalats for settlement of disputes both pending before the Courts and also for settlement of disputes (other pre-court litigation) before the parties go to court so that there may be harmony and peace among the people with whom there is conflict of interest and the pressure on the courts on account of overburdening of litigation is reduced.

It is absolutely necessary that the people should know their rights, as it serves two purposes: (1) any inroad or invasion of the rights of the people could be prevented, if they are aware of their rights by having access to justice; (2) more particularly, the persons who tend to invade or threaten the rights of others are made aware that others are fully conscious of their rights and any invasion of their rights would be resisted by others and there is a strong judiciary created to protect their rights, then the tendency to violate rights of others will be minimized.
It is, therefore, essential that the people at large and particularly those who deserve legal aid are made aware of their rights and benefits, which are available to them under the Act.

FUNCTIONS OF THE AUTHORITY:

(1) It shall be the duty of the State Authority to give effect to the policy and directions of the Central Authority.

(2) Without prejudice to the generality of the functions referred to in subsection (1), the State Authority shall perform all or any of the following functions, namely:-

(a) give legal service to persons who satisfy the criteria laid down under this Act;
(b) conduct {Lok Adalats; including Lok Adalats for High Court cases}
(c) undertake preventive and strategic legal aid programmes; and
(d) perform such other functions as the State Authority may, in consultation with the [Central Authority], fix by regulations.

OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE AUTHORITY:

(1) The Authority may conduct legal literacy camps in different parts of the State with a view to transmitting knowledge about the legal aid schemes conducted in the State or with a view to spreading consciousness about the legal rights and duties of citizens with special reference to the tribal and rural populations, women, children, disabled, handicapped and the weaker sections of the society.

(2) The Authority may itself file Public Interest Litigation or may finance Public Interest Litigation before appropriate Courts in the State if it is satisfied that such litigations are for the general benefit of a large body or class of persons who cannot by themselves take recourse to law due to penury, illiteracy or other similar reasons.

(3) The Authority may conduct Legal Aid Clinics in different parts of the State itself or in collaboration with law Colleges, Universities and other social services organizations.

(4) The Authority may also establish or direct the District Authority to establish counseling centers at various places in the State with a view to providing permanent or quasi-permanent infrastructure for resolving legal disputes between the parties, whether they may be pending in courts or may be in offing. For establishing such centers it will be open to the State Authority/or the District Authority to take active assistance/support of such social service organizations that have zeal for legal aid work.

(5) The Authority may call for periodical reports, returns and other informations as it thinks fit from the High Court Legal Services Committee, District Authority and review the cases where legal services are refused by the High Court Legal Services Committee/District Authority.
