A Legal Aid Camp was held at Prasad Institute of Technology, Banthara on 25/12/2011 from 10:00am to 1:00pm by the RMLNLU Legal Aid Committee. It was attended by around 150 people who had some kind of legal issues. In total 88 applications are being drafted which will be forwarded to the State Legal Services Authority (SLSA).
A general briefing about Consumer Protection Laws, Protection against Domestic Violence Act, dowry, rights of the accused, laws governing pension policies for widows, senior citizens etc., laws relating to insurance, civil and criminal offences, benefits of using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a mode of dispute redressal, relief available under the Legal Services Authority Act etc was done. The Legal Aid Committee is in constant touch with the State Legal Services Authority and is grateful for the support rendered and the faith shown by SLSA.
The Legal Aid Camp organized at Banthara was a great success and we are looking forward to organizing more such camps in future.
