Andhra Pradesh High Court Chief Justice and High Court Legal Services Committee (HCLSC) is planning to adopt villages to help those who don't have access to the justice system.
To ensure that the people who don't have access to the Justice system get legal services, the Andhra Pradesh High Court Chief Justice and High Court Legal Services Committee (HCLSC) Patron-in-Chief Prashant Kumar Mishra has asked the legal fraternity to provide their services to the needy people in villages including senior citizens, farmers, women and children, workers in the unorganised sector, victims of trafficking and Covid-19 and transgenders.
Under ‘Mission Legal Services’ (MLS), HCLSC is planning to adopt villages with the cooperation of village heads, law colleges, stakeholders of other legal service institutions.
“We should strive to make villages litigation-free. The very purpose of our existence is to help those who don’t have access to justice,” he said, as quoted by The Hindu.
Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and A.V. Sesha Sai, Chairman and Executive Chairman of the HCLSC talked about the need for paralegal volunteers who can reach out to villages to provide justice through appropriate forums. HCLSC would constitute the core, legal aid, legal literacy, redressal, conciliation, and coordination committees for achieving the goals of MLS, which was a pan-India program aimed at providing legal services to those who do not have access to the justice system. The idea is that the committees would act as bridges between the judiciary and those seeking justice.
