Chief Justice of India U. U. Lalit on September 17 called upon law graduates to devote their time and energies for legal aid work, which, he termed, is bit neglected in the country.
Addressing the 9 th Convocation of National Law University, Odisha, Cuttack, Justice Lalit said “in last year and half, I have been associated with legal aid works and what I find is, I don’t mean to complain or show any disrespect, but somehow the legal aid work in this country is bit neglected.”
“Legal graduates are torchbearers. You should think of legal aid for certain extent, devote your time and energies to extent possible for legal aid work and it will bring you back to that level of compassion. The compassion will drive you in the right direction and show you the correct path. So whatever you have learnt, give it back to the society,” Chief Justice of India exhorted students in his address.
