Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi, a daily wage laborer, was wrongfully accused of theft in his village. Due to his financial condition, he could not afford a lawyer to defend himself in court. Under Article 39A of the Constitution of India, the state provided Ravi with free legal aid through a government-appointed lawyer. This ensured that Ravi had an equal opportunity to present his case and seek justice, despite his economic disadvantage.

Example 2:

Meena, a single mother working as a domestic helper, faced eviction from her rented home due to a dispute with her landlord. She did not have the financial means to hire a lawyer to fight her case. Through a legal aid scheme established under Article 39A, Meena received free legal assistance from a legal aid clinic. This support enabled her to challenge the eviction notice in court and secure her right to stay in her home, ensuring that her economic status did not prevent her from accessing justice.
