Even though many programmes are conducted by the Union and State Govt. for giving legal aid to the marginalized sections of the community, the results are not reached to the beneficiaries as they were not aware of either the existence of the above schemes or the knowledge that they are eligible for the same as a right. Honble Mr. Justice U.U.
