EQUITABLE ACCESS TO JUSTICE: ACONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE
Journal Title: Bharati Law Review - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Access to justice has been held to be a fundamental right, the right to justice is also fundamental to the rule of law and so while drafting our Constitution we have made social justice an inalienable claim on the state. Free legal aid is no charity but incidental to fundamental rights, rather human rights in their holistic perspective. In reality a large section of our society is deprived of this significant right due to the lack of awareness and illiteracy. The initiatives on the part of the legislature with passing of Legal Service Authority Act has paved way towards the Constitutional goal realization, judicial contribution in this respect is of worth appreciation but still the ground reality is not satisfying. Legal assistance provided at the expense of the state, legal aid schemes are working, legal awareness moves are arranged but still there is a long way to go in terms of making Access to Justice a hassle free reality. There is dire need of productive partnerships to carry forward these schemes with reliable institutions such as NGOs, schools, colleges, Panchayats, Municipalities or other local bodies.
