District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Dakshin Dinajpur
The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Dakshin Dinajpur has been constituted under the provisions of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 with the objective of providing free and competent legal services to the weaker sections of society and to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or other disabilities.
DLSA Dakshin Dinajpur functions under the guidance of the Hon’ble District Judge and in coordination with the State Legal Services Authority, West Bengal.
The Authority is engaged in organising Lok Adalat for amicable settlement of disputes, conducting legal awareness and legal literacy programmes, and facilitating access to free legal aid through Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) across the district.
Special emphasis is laid on providing legal support to women, children, victims of trafficking, victims of domestic violence, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and other marginalised sections of society.
The District Legal Services Authority, Dakshin Dinajpur also plays an active role in preventive legal services by spreading awareness regarding legal rights, duties, and available welfare legislations through outreach programmes, camps, and community-based initiatives.
