Legal aid clinic at Trichy collectorate
The clinic was established by the district legal services authority (DLSA) that functions at the district court in Trichy. Though DLSA is providing all the legal aid to the people, the clinic has been set up in the district collectorate for easy access to the people. A panel lawyer and a paralegal volunteer are deputed in the clinic to solve the disputes amicably. The centre would function from 2pm to 5pm on all working days. The panel lawyers would be deputed on a monthly basis. Advocate C Gnanasekaran has been deputed in the centre at present.
After the inauguration, judge Velmurugan said that besides legal
services, the paralegal volunteers would offer services not related with
legal and take their matter to the government officials concerned to
solve their problem. Moreover, they planned to open legal aid centres in
corporation office, taluk office, Bharathidasan University, Trichy and
panchayat offices.
S Dhanapal, senior administrative officer told TOI, "People who have any grievance under the MGNREGS, too, can approach the centre to get their problems solved. A paralegal volunteer would provide basic legal advice to the people. There are 86 paralegal volunteers in the district. If needed, we would avail their service."
