The government on Sunday has launched the ‘Tele-Law’
initiative of the Ministry of Law and Justice partnered with the Ministry of
Electronics and Information Technology that anchors the Digital India
programme, to provide legal aid services through its Common Service Centres
(CSC) at the panchayat level, spread across the country.
According
to the Law Ministry, in the first phase, the ‘Tele-Law’ scheme will be tested
as a pilot across 500 such CSCs in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to understand the
challenges and make necessary corrections to the scheme before it is scaled up
and rolled out across the country in a phased manner.
Under
the scheme, a portal called ‘Tele-Law’ will be launched, which will be
available across the CSC network. This will connect the citizens to legal
service providers with the help of technology-enabled platforms.
‘Tele-Law’ will
enable people to seek legal advice from lawyers through video conferencing
available at the CSC. Additionally, law school clinics, District Legal Service
Authorities, voluntary service providers and Non-Government Organisations
working on legal aid and empowerment can also be connected through the CSCs
anywhere and anytime, in order to strengthen access to justice for the
marginalized communities. A robust monitoring and evaluation system is also
being designed which will help in assessing the quality of legal advice
provided and the ensuing benefit to those accessing it.
