The day aims to create awareness about free legal aid and equal access to justice in India.
It marks the implementation of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, which came into force on November 9, 1995.
Article 39A of the Indian Constitution provides for equal justice and free legal aid.
The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) is the apex statutory body responsible for providing free legal services to eligible people.
Free legal aid is available to eligible groups, including women, children, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and economically weaker sections.
Lok Adalats help settle disputes through mutual agreement and reduce the burden on regular courts.
