Justice Gavai Stresses Importance of Article 39A

CHANDIGARH: Supreme Court Judge and National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) Executive Chairman Justice B R Gavai on Sunday elaborated on the critical role of legal services in empowering marginalized communities and ensuring social justice.

He said that Article 39A of the Constitution is of immense significance as it guarantees the right to free legal aid for the voiceless, marginalized and vulnerable sections of the society, ensuring access to justice for those who might otherwise be deprived of it.

Justice Gavai shared these views during the regional conference of the State Legal Services Authorities themed “Empowering the Marginalized and a Step Towards Social Justice” organised at the Chandigarh Judicial Academy here, according to an official release.
