The Foundation is run and managed by the Lawyers/Students of law/Volunteers from different fields to help and provide Free Legal Aid to the poor, deprived, needy, downtrodden and the handicapped people to protect their rights as well as to generate awareness among people about issues that concern everyone, from civil liberties to environment to legal literacy. The Foundation is dedicated to the cause of protecting public interest, taking up causes of general public importance for legal redressal and turning lawyers into researcher and socially responsible professionals.
The Legal Aid functions that it performs are preventive, remedial, activist and reformative. It provides assistance to people who are otherwise unable to afford legal representation and access to the court system. It aims at providing them access to justice by ensuring equality before the law, the right to counsel and the right to a fair trial. The Foundation is conscious of the fact that Legal aid is essential to guaranteeing equal access to justice for all, as provided for by Article 6.3 of the European Convention on Human Rights regarding criminal law cases.
It is unfortunate that the overall percentage of legal awareness as well as Legal Aid is poor in our country being thickly populated and largely poor. Although legal Aid is being provided by public spirited lawyers and other such persons on individual basis from time to time but this foundation is an attempt to institutionalize the entire system of legal aid to make it more effective and efficient so that it can reach and cater to the remote areas also.
In a short span of time, Aman welfare and Legal Aid Foundation has helped several needy and deprived sections of society and has been actively pursuing their causes/cases free of cost on pro bono basis in every possible forum including contesting court cases for their rights from the District Courts till Supreme Court of India.
The Foundation is running a project of providing Free Legal Aid to prisoners/inmates in Jail which includes Legal Consultations and taking up and conducting their matters in Courts (from Lower court till Supreme Court) and providing them Free, effective and competent legal services. And also we are Planning to discuss before the Director General of Jharkhand prisons to permitted our Foundation to provide free legal aid to the prisoners (which is generally not given to NGO) and Our team of Lawyers will visit the Jails once in a week and providing all kind of legal assistance and consultations free of cost. During our service, we have come across several poor men, women, children, handicapped, old, infirm, persons with special needs languishing in Jails and some of them have been granted bail by the courts but they could not be released since they don’t have any surety and/or bail amount. Some of them are falsely implicated and are lying in Jails for long time. Many of them belong to poor strata and don’t have arrangements to pay lawyer’s fee and have no legal aid to contest their cases. We believe it is our bounden moral duty to help them and provide them all kind of legal aid and assistance and also work towards their rehabilitation and reformation.
The Foundation has also organized Free Legal Aid Camps at different places in Delhi with the help of Social and religious Organizations and NGOs and we are planning to expand our activities to reach the masses.
We are also working on making the poor people aware about the benefits from Governments programmes and schemes and help them getting those benefits and to fight for them if they are deprived of their rightful dues.
The Foundation has the required infrastructure and is assisted by a team of experienced and competent Lawyers in all the District Courts of Jharkhand as well as Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand and Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for providing legal aid and help to needy persons.
