3rd Annual Report


HIS THINKING & VISION

Delhi Legal Services Authority is working vigorously to fulfill its objectives underthe able guidance of its Patron-in-Chief and Executive Chairman. The office of theAuthority was initially housed in Patiala House Court Complex with a handful of officersand officials. It has now expanded manifolds and correspondingly spread its wings overentire Delhi State. Due to establishment of Legal Aid Centres at all the Court Complexesin Delhi and on opening of Family & Counselling Centres in various parts of Delhi, it hasmade great strides in achieving its objective to provide justice to poor and needy at theirdoorsteps.

1. Framing of Recruitment Rules for Officers and Staff of the Authority

To carry out the administrative work of the Authority need-based appointments ofstaff were made. The appointments were however being made without following anyrules regulating the appointments and service conditions of the officers and officials ofthe Authority. No steps as to framing of Recruitment Rules were ever made since theinception of the Authority. After the taking over as Executive Chairman of the Authority,Hon’ble Mr. Justice T.S. Thakur laid emphasis on regulating the appointments of officersand staff in accordance with Recruitment Rules. The same have now been framed bythe Consultant (Admn.) and submitted to Govt. of NCT, Delhi for notification.

2. Accommodation for the office of the Authority

The Authority had all along been working from Patiala House Courts where verysmall accommodation is available. Some offices were accommodated in Gole Marketoffice. However, still the problem of accommodation continued. We had been running frompillar to post in search of a suitable space to accommodate the entire office under one roof.Now with the efforts of Hon’ble Executive Chairman, the Authority has been providedspace in Prefab Building, Patiala House Annexe. The administrative and expendituresanctions for carrying out renovations in the said accommodation have since been accordedand the renovation work is likely be completed by the end of this year.

3. Mediation & Conciliation Centre Scheduled to open at Rohini

The Authority is running Mediation & Conciliation Centre in Shaheed BhagatSingh Place, Gole Market, New Delhi, which is providing legal services to the publicapproaching the Centre. Counselling work is being done by the Retired Judicial Officers/

Officers from various Govt. and Non-governmental Organizations. Hon’ble the ExecutiveChairman has directed that more Mediation and Conciliation Centres be opened invarious Court Complexes. As a result, orders have already been passed for setting upof a Mediation & Conciliation Centre at Rohini. The renovation expenses of theaccommodation allotted in Rohini Court Complex has been sanctioned and the saidcenter will start functioning shortly.

4. Legal Aid & Counselling Centre at Juvenile Justice Board, Kingsway Camp

Directions have also been issued by the Hon’ble Executive Chairman for settingup of Legal Aid and Counselling Centres in the premises of Juvenile Justice Board sothat the juveniles may avail the legal services of DLSA at their doorstep. An officer ofDelhi Judicial Service has been posted for two days in a week in the premises of theboard besides two legal aid counsels to look after legal aid requirements of Juveniles.

5. Opening of Legal Aid & Counselling Centre at Tihar Jail Complex

Jail inmates are the beneficiaries of legal aid. The Authority has been providingLegal Assistance to the accused in custody by way of deputing Jail Visiting Advocatesin all the Jails at Tihar and Rohini and arguing counsels have also been deputed to file/defend the petitions on behalf of the accused in all the District Courts and Delhi HighCourt. To ensure that the Legal Services are available to the inmates at their doorsteps,Hon’ble Executive Chairman has directed that a Legal Aid & Counselling Centre havingcontrol over the entire work pertaining to Jail matters be opened in the Court Complexat Tihar. The modalities on this account have been worked out and the legal aid andCounselling Centre is going to be inaugurated by Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ashok Bhan,Judge, Supreme Court of India and Executive Chairman, National Legal Services Authorityon 20th July, 2007.

6. Audit and certification of Accounts of the Authority

Section 18 (4) of Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 provides that the accountsof the Authorities, as certified by the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India or anyother person appointed by him in this behalf together with the audit report thereon, shallbe forwarded annually by the Authorities to the Central Government or the StateGovernments, as the case may be and as per sub-section 6 of the above section, theState Government shall cause the accounts and the audit report received by it undersubsection (4) to be laid before the State Legislature. The procedure of certification ofthe Accounts and thereafter forwarding the same alongwith audit report to the StateGovernment for placing the same before the State Legislature, has not been followed byDelhi Legal Services Authority right from its inception in the year 1987. Noticing thisirregularity the Hon’ble Executive Chairman called a meeting with the Accountant General(Audit), Office of the AGCR and requested him to initiate the process of certification of

3rd Annual Report


the accounts of the Authority in accordance with the above provision of the Act andcomplete the exercise within a period of two months. The exercise in pursuance of themeeting with the Accountant General (Audit) is already underway and likely to be completedshortly.

7. Review of Legal Aid & Counselling Centres

On the directions of Hon'ble the Executive Chairman, the working of Legal Aid& Counselling Centres being run by the Authority at various places in Delhi has beenreviewed and some of the centres have been closed due to their non/under-performance.For effective implementation of legal aid schemes of the Authority also ordered thatmore centres be opened in co-ordination with the Non-Governmental Organisations.Steps have accordingly been initiated for opening of such Centres and the proposalsreceived from various NGOs in this behalf are being examined.

8. Sunday Lok Adalats: A Special Feature

Finding the disposal of cases by Lok Adalats as encouraging, Hon'ble ExecutiveChairman of DLSA decided to initiate the process of holding Lok Adalats on all Sundaysin order to accelerate disposal of cases.
