(RIGHT TO ACCESS JUSTICE FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED )
India post-independence emerged with the largest constitution in the world, promising every citizen their basic rights and liberties. Nevertheless, continuous increment of population and lack of infrastructure plays as a hindrance in fulfillment of these promises. It is saddening to witness people accept injustice because of never-ending proceedings, lack of resources, undesirable outcomes, and mostly due to ignorance of their rights.
The rule of law is just, equal and rational for all living beings. Law dictates the terms of society where everyone should have a space to voice their concerns.
