GUNTUR Every citizen has the right to know their legal rights and access justice, irrespective of where they live, said District Principal Judge and District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) chairman B. Sai Kalyan Chakravarthi. Speaking at the National Legal Services Day organised by the DLSA in Guntur on Monday (November 9, 2026), he said the Legal Services Authorities Act served as a bridge between the government and beneficiaries by ensuring free legal assistance, promoting legal awareness, and facilitating dispute resolution through Lok Adalats.
“Reaching people in remote areas and making them aware of their rights is one of the primary objectives of the authority,” he said. He emphasised that justice was not limited to punishing offenders, as innocent victims of crimes were also entitled to compensation. Lok Adalats were helping accident victims and their families secure speedy relief in motor vehicle accident cases.
They were also facilitating settlements in long-pending civil disputes, he added.
