Former Chief Justice of India M.N. Venkatachaliah launched the multilingual India Legal app, a helpline to enable citizens obtain legal assistance from their homes.
Mr. Venkatachaliah, who is also a patron-in-chief of India Legal Research Foundation, said the app will benefit a wide range of consumers, including a large legal community of 1.2 million lawyers and half-a-million students. “The app will help in disposing of around 70% new cases,” he added.
