The actual relief sought in the above Writ Petition as stated above are formation of Legal Service Aid Committee at grama Panchayath level and give financial assistance to them so as to make the people at the grass-route level to get the benefit of the schemes available under Legal Services Authorities Act. 4. The Legal Services Authority has its committee members at every level i.e. State Level District Level and Taluk Level. Each of these Committees is headed by the senior most judicial officer of respective place. All the activities of Legal Services Authority, right from taluk level to national level are done under the supervision of judicial officer. The execution of day-today activities is also done by a member from the judiciary who is known as Member Secretary. The patron-in-chief of Legal Services Authority at the national level is the senior most Judge of the Apex Court who has his committee members from different parts of the country including two senior Judges of High Court apart from academicians and social workers. Similarly, at the State Level such committees are formed by the Executive Chairman of the Legal Service Authority under the guidance and leadership of Chief Patron of the particular State. The entire system works as provided in the Act. It is open to any NGO or any organisation as such for that matter to seek assistance from the legal Service Authority provided such project come within the parameters either awareness or legal aid as such. 5. As one of the action plans of National Legal Services Authority is constitution of legal aid clinics which are established at different places with the assistance of para legal volunteers, every Legal Service Authority of the State has trained para legal volunteers who would be manning these legal aid clinics and they would attend to simple matters when public approach them. If it needs legal assistance, they would refer them to the Taluk Legal Service Authority or the District Legal Service Authority depending upon the nature of legal assistance sought by the applicant. 6. This is how the system works catering to the needs of the general public. If any Panchayath is interested to have such assistance, they can always request the Legal Service Authority to have a legal aid clinic sitting at the Panchayath Office twice or thrice in a week and they will be manned by para legal volunteers. 6.

If any Panchayath is interested to have such assistance, they can always request the Legal Service Authority to have a legal aid clinic sitting at the Panchayath Office twice or thrice in a week and they will be manned by para legal volunteers. This is uniformally adopted in every State of the Country. In that view of the matter, there is no necessity to create a parallel machinery to do the same work as already done by the Legal Service Authority. 7. Therefore, we are of the opinion, none of the relief’s sought could be granted including the financial assistance to committees at the Panchayath level. Panchayath members already have their respective duties and functions as envisaged under Panchayath Act. They can seek the assistance of legal services authority to enlighten them on their duties and function and how best they could efficiently discharge their duties and functions. As a matter of fact, such awareness programmes are conducted for the newly elected Panchayath Members in every State. Therefore, we are of the opinion, none of the relief sought in the above Writ Petition could be granted in favour of the petitioner. Accordingly, petition is dismissed.
