PARAMETERS
1. NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES
2. STAGE OF ACCESS TO LEGAL AID
3. QUALITY OF LEGAL AID
4. LEGAL AID BUDGETS
5. STATUS OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROCESSES
STATUS OF LEGAL AID
1. NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES :
Since the 1987 Act was enacted, out of the total list of 1.77 crore beneficiaries of various schemes of the legal services
authority, only 4.68 lakh persons in custody have been provided with legal aid. So prisoners form less than 3% of the
persons benefitted through legal aid schemes. Moreover, prisoners in Delhi form almost a quarter of these 4.68 lakh
prisoners.( Supreme Court Annual Report 2015)
2. STAGE OF ACCESS TO LEGAL AID
AT TRIAL, AT CHARGESHEET, AT SUBSEQUENT REMAND, AT FIRST PRODUCTION, AT ARREST, PREVENTING CONFLICTS
3. QUALITY OF LEGAL AID
PRESENCE OF LAWYER IN COURT, DEFENDS THE CLIENT, VISITS HIM IN JAIL
4. LEGAL AID BUDGETS
OTHER EXPENDITURES
STATUS OF LEGAL AID IN RAJASTHAN
STATUS OF LEGAL AID IN RAJASTHAN
NUMBER OF ARRESTS IN RAJASTHAN IN THE LAST TEN YEARS: 24,36,533
NUMBER OF PERSONS IN CUSTODY PROVIDED LEGAL AID IN THE LAST TEN YEARS: 17,505
SO, ON AVERAGE, IN A YEAR- 2,40,000 PERSONS WERE ARRESTED IN RAJASTHAN. ONLY 1750
OF THEM WERE PROVIDED LEGAL AID .
THIS MEANS LESS THAN 1% ( 0.72%) OF THOSE ARRESTED ARE PROVIDED LEGAL AID

Time delays in approval of legal aid application : Guideline 7(4) of NALSA 2010 :”The Committee shall scrutinise and evaluate the
application and decide whether the applicant is entitled to the legal services or not within a period of eight weeks from the date of
receipt of the application. “
Legal aid lawyer should be appointed the same day the legal aid application is received from prison, and the legal services institution
should ensure that the lawyer visits the inmate in prison within 24 hours. Any verification from the prison or the court should be done
right away.
Individuals in custody shall not be required to submit an application for the purpose of receiving legal aid during the early stages of the
criminal justice process - Article 31.2 of Draft Model UN Law
MANDATE
RECOMMENDATIONS
Rendering the accused unrepresented for eight weeks which essentially means continued detention for the said period merely to
decide whether the person is eligible for legal aid is unreasonable and against the principle of liberty guaranteed under Article 21
