Legal Aid to litigants – Fees of Advocates -Maharashtra Legal Services Authority

legaldeli

Legal Aid to the litigants is an extension of access to justice to the marginalized sections of the Society and more specifically those sections which really deserve the same or otherwise they would go unrepresented in the Courts.

It is our endeavour to ensure that Legal Aid empanelled Advocates are paid the fees as per the Schedule of Fees according to the work done by them and not in lump sum fees as per Regulation 18(1) of the Maharashtra Legal Services Authority.  However, the Advocates are paid lumpsum of Rs.6,000/- after the matter is over.

Advocates at the Bar who offer their services through Legal Aid are required to be motivated and their resolve is required to be strengthened.   For this they should be paid due fees.
