Read the following passage and answer the questions

Passage: Free legal aid is the provision of free legal services in civil and criminal matters for those poor and marginalised people who cannot afford the services of a lawyer for the conduct of a case or a legal proceeding in any Court, Tribunal or Authority. These services are governed by the Legal Services Authority Act, 1987 (the “Act”) and provided by the National Legal Services Authority (“NALSA”).

Provision of free legal aid includes:

•     Representation by an advocate in legal proceedings;

•     Payment of process fees, expenses of witnesses and all other charges payable or

incurred in connection with any legal proceedings in appropriate cases;

•     Preparation of pleadings, memo of appeal, paper book including printing and

translation of documents in legal proceedings;

•     Drafting of legal documents, special leave petition etc.; and

•     Supply of certified copies of judgments, orders, notes of evidence and other documents in legal proceedings.

Free legal aid also includes provision of aid and advice to the beneficiaries to access benefits under welfare statutes and schemes framed by the Central Government or the state governments and to ensure access to justice in any other manner. Free legal aid is not confined to cases before the subordinate courts. Free legal aid must be provided to the needy from the lowest court to the Supreme Court of India.

According to Section 13(1) of the Act, any individual who satisfies any criteria under Section 12 is entitled to receive free legal aid, provided that NALSA is satisfied that such person has a genuine case to prosecute or defend the matter. There is hence no bar as to which kind of cases one can apply and not apply for. Section 12 of the Act includes the following:

•    a member of a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe;

•    a woman or a child;

•    a person with a disability;

•    an industrial workman; or

•    a person in police custody.

Question 1: Divya was arrested by the police and charged with having committed a murder. She was convicted by the trial court and appealed to the high court. She lost her appeal there and decided to appeal to the Supreme Court. By this time she has run out of money, so she approaches NALSA and asks them to help her get an advocate who can represent her before the Supreme Court. Is Divya entitled to support from NALSA?

(A) No, since she should have approached them at the beginning of the case before the trial court, and not at such a late stage.

(B) Yes, since her previous lawyers were incompetent, and that is why she lost the matter in the trial court and the high court.

(C) Yes, she is entitled to free legal aid in the Supreme Court proceedings because she is a woman.

(D) No, since she had been accused of having committed the heinous crime of murder.

Answer: (C) 

Question 2: Divya is acquitted by the Supreme Court and goes back to her regular life. Some days later, she has a fight with her neighbour Riya over a petty matter and decides to file a criminal case against her. She approaches NALSA for free legal aid to prosecute the matter. She tells the NALSA representative that she knows she does not have a genuine case, but just wants to harass Riya.

NALSA refuses to provide Divya free legal aid because they believe she does not have a genuine case to prosecute. Can NALSA do so?

(A) Yes, since Section 13(1) of the Act provides that free legal aid can be provided if NALSA is satisfied the person has a genuine case to prosecute, and they did not believe that Divya had a genuine case to prosecute.

(B) Yes, since Divya had earlier been prosecuted for the crime of murder.

(C) Yes, since Divya had already applied for free legal aid from NALSA in the past and could not repeatedly ask NALSA for such assistance.

(D) No, since Divya is a woman, and is included within the list of people entitled to free legal aid from NALSA under Section 12 of the Act.

Answer: (A) 

Question 3: Vikram is a rich businessman and has a huge art collection. Farhan invites Vikram to his studio one day, hoping to convince Vikram to buy some of his paintings. Vikram doesn’t buy any of his paintings, but after he leaves, Farhan notices that one of his newest paintings is missing. He suspects that Vikram has stolen it, and complains to the police, who promptly arrest Vikram. Vikram approaches NALSA for free legal aid, so that he can obtain bail. Is Vikram entitled to free legal aid from NALSA?

(A) No, since he is a rich businessman and can hire a lawyer with his own money.

(B) Yes, since he was innocent.

(C)  Yes, since he was in police custody.

(D)  No, since he had stolen from a struggling artist.

Answer: (A) 

Question 4: Incensed at Divya, Riya decides to file a civil case against Divya, claiming that Divya had violated the terms of a contract they had made some time back. Divya approaches NALSA for free legal aid to defend the matter, which NALSA agrees to provide. Since Riya is also short of funds, she too approaches NALSA for free legal aid. NALSA refuses to provide legal aid to Riya, since they are already providing Divya free legal aid in the same case. Is NALSA right in refusing free legal aid to Riya?

(A) Yes, since NALSA cannot provide free legal aid to opposing parties in the same matter.

(B) Yes, since NALSA does not provide free legal aid in civil matters.

(C) No, since Divya had filed a frivolous case against Riya in the past, and Riya was entitled to retaliate by filing another case against Divya.

(D) No, since Riya is a woman, and is entitled to free legal aid as long as NALSA is satisfied she has a genuine case.

Answer: (A) 

Question 5: Farhan is an up-and-coming artist and makes a living selling his paintings. Since he is not very well known yet, he isn’t able to sell too many paintings, and is dependent on aid from the government and well-wishers. He reads about a new Central Government scheme in the papers one day, under which artists would be provided a monthly stipend by the local government. Since he finds the language of the scheme document very complex to understand, he approaches NALSA for help in understanding the scheme and obtaining the stipend. Is he entitled to free legal aid from NALSA in this regard?

(A) No, since free legal aid does not include provision of help to understand and access benefits under government schemes.

(B) No, since he does not fit within any of the categories under Section 12 of the Act.

(C) Yes, since free legal aid includes provision of help to understand and access benefits under government schemes.

(D) Yes, since he is a struggling artist, and is dependent on aid for survival.
