Right to free legal aid
?? Constitutional Foundation
Article 39A of the Constitution provides the right to free legal aid.
This right is provided to people who are not in a position to bear the expenses of the proceedings.
It is the State's obligation to provide adequate assistance at its own expense to the arrested person, which also includes women.
?? Important Note
Free legal aid ensures that financial constraints do not prevent access to justice. This constitutional right guarantees that every arrested woman, regardless of her economic status, receives proper legal representation and assistance.
