In his speeches at different programs during the day Chief Justice of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh, Justice Ali Mohammad Magray said that access to Justice is not confined to the court based legal services. It extends to making people aware about their entitlements under various enactments and welfare schemes and programmes and strengthening their access to the same.

He said the State Legal Services Authority and various District Legal Service Authorities have played a pivotal part to ensure people have access to legal advice. He said that the Legal Services Authorities will continue to organise legal services camps in the villages.

Chief Justice said Students Legal Literacy Clubs’ are being formed with an aim to spread knowledge of the legal rights and duties among the students who in turn can raise awareness among the poor and needy to not only mitigate their problems but to get out of problems absolutely.

He said that the Legal Literacy and legal services programmes are essential as it is the knowledge of the law that can be used as a tool by vulnerable groups to understand and evaluate the law, to get acquainted with the scope of their rights under the law, and get their rights enforced by taking action and bringing the legal machinery into force.

He further added that being a part of the largest democracy, knowledge of law serves the people with the tool of power and self-realization and unless the people are aware of rights, they cannot live in consonance with the true dictates of democracy and rule of law.

The Minister was accompanied by different dignitaries including Shri Achal Sethi, Secretary Law Department, Registrar General, Sanjeev Kumar,Principal Secretary Justice Aejaz Ahmad Khan, Additional Solicitor General Tahir Majeed Shamsi and Joint Registrar Protocol Ab Bari and Mir Wajahat Secretary District Legal Services Authority Anantnag.

The events were also attended by Deputy Commissioner, Anantnag, SSP Anantnag, ADDC, JD Planning, SE R&B, CMO, ACR and other Heads of Departments working in District Anantnag.
