Article 39A (DPSP) mandates free legal aid for impoverished or disadvantaged persons, ensuring equal access to justice. The Legal Services Authorities Act (1987) established bodies like NALSA at the national level and state/district legal services authorities, which run Lok Adalats, legal literacy camps, and provide representation for needy litigants. This fosters the principle of equality before law (Article 14). Although significant progress has been made, resource constraints and awareness gaps impede universal coverage. Properly implemented legal aid ensures that socio-economic status does not bar anyone from defending their rights, reflecting core constitutional values of fairness and inclusivity.
