BHANWARI DEVI Vs. RAMLAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal under Sec. 384 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (for short `the Act, 1925') is filed by the appellants against the judgment dated 17. 1. 2002 of the District Judge, Sikar in Civil Miscellaneous Application No. 87 of 1999.

(2.) THE appellant filed application under Section 372 of the Act, 1925 for succession certificate.

(3.) IT is true that the appellants have not applied for the legal service to the Rajasthan High Court Legal Service Committee, but that is not the end of the matter or disentitles them from consideration by the committee of their this right. The legal services which are to be provided under the Act, 1987 is not a charity or a donation or a mercy or sympathy or concession. IT is a legal right conferred to this clause of persons under the Act. 1987. IT is a different matter that the Advocate has not taken the steps advising the appellants to file this appeal taking legal services from the Rajasthan High Court Legal Services Committee. In case it would have been done I am confident that leaving apart the question of court fee the amount of other expenses would have granted and the services of the Advocate at the cost of the state would have been provided. IT is unfortunate that this class of litigants who are entitled for free legal services are not being legally educated, nor made known and informed of their this right by the advocate to whom the approached.
