Create Awareness About Free Legal Aid, Inform Convicts Of Their Right To Appeal : Supreme Court Issues Guidelines

The Supreme Court directed all states to create awareness about free legal aid and ensure convicts are informed of their right to appeal. These guidelines aim to address the lack of awareness among prisoners, especially those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The Court emphasized the need for a structured system to ensure that prisoners, particularly convicts, know their legal rights, and that free legal assistance is provided promptly when necessary.
