The correct answer is: The Legal Services Authorities Act (1987).
The Legal Services Authorities Act (1987) is an act of the Parliament of India enacted to provide free and competent legal aid to the poor and to organize lok adalats for promoting equal justice. The Act provides for the establishment of a National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and State Legal Services Authorities (SLSAs) at the national and state levels, respectively. These authorities are responsible for providing legal aid to the poor and marginalized sections of society. The Act also provides for the establishment of lok adalats, which are informal courts that can settle disputes between parties without the need for lawyers.
The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955 is an act of the Parliament of India enacted to provide for the protection of the civil rights of citizens of India against any discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them. The Act prohibits discrimination in matters of public employment, admission to educational institutions and in the use of public places.
The Prevention of Atrocities Act, 1989 is an act of the Parliament of India enacted to prevent atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The Act provides for the punishment of persons who commit atrocities against members of these communities. The Act also provides for the establishment of special courts to try cases of atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The Legal Services Authorities Act (1987) is the most relevant act to the question as it specifically provides for the establishment of a national network to provide free and competent legal aid to the poor and to organize lok adalats for promoting equal justice. The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955 and the Prevention of Atrocities Act, 1989 are important acts, but they do not specifically provide for the establishment of a national network to provide free and competent legal aid to the poor and to organize lok adalats for promoting equal justice.
