Chief Justice Emphasizes Legal Aid as Moral Duty, Proposes Institutional Reforms

Imagine a special club that helps people who can't afford a lawyer get legal help.

The head judge, Chief Justice Gavai, said this help isn't just a nice thing to do, like giving a gift.

It's a very important job that the government must do to make sure everyone, even the poorest people, gets fair treatment under the law.

He said this is like a 'moral duty' for everyone involved.

Another important judge, Justice Kant, agreed and said this help needs to be strong and caring.

The Chief Justice also pointed out that sometimes, when new people take charge of this club, their new ideas don't always get finished because they leave.

So, he suggested creating a special team with past and future leaders to make sure the good plans for helping people keep going for a long, long time.

He also told judges who help with this that they need to be kind and listen to people's problems, not just follow strict rules, to truly help those who have been left out.
