NALSA launches Veer Parivaar Sahayata Yojana to aid defence personnel
The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) on Saturday launched the Veer Parivaar Sahayata Yojana 2025 here to strengthen legal aid for defence personnel. The yojana was launched in collaboration with the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and the Jammu & Kashmir Legal Services Authority during the North Zone Regional Conference on "Reaffirming the Constitutional Vision of Justice for Defence Personnel and Tribals" at SKICC here. Presiding over the event, Supreme Court Judge and Executive Chairman of NALSA, Justice Surya Kant, said the gathering in Kashmir was not just about technical discussions, but also about national integration and honouring the selfless service of the armed forces. Justice Kant said Veer Parivaar Sahayata Yojana 2025 marks a historic step in NALSA's 30-year journey of delivering justice to the marginalised. "Members of our armed forces and their families face legal hurdles like any other citizen whether land disputes, service entitlements, or matrimonial issues but their unique service conditions make access to justice more difficult. This scheme is our solemn pledge to stand beside those who protect our borders, ensuring that their rights are not left unprotected," he said. He outlined the three pillars of the yojana a dedicated network of legal services clinics at Zilla, Rajya, and Kendriya Sainik Boards; trained nodal officers, legal aid counsels and PLVs (including ex-servicemen) to assist families in a compassionate and timely manner; and digital access and online redressal mechanisms such as e-Lok Adalats and online mediation to ensure speed and convenience. Justice Kant said the Constitution, through Article 39A, mandates equal access to justice for all, and "if we fail to extend this support to our jawans and their families, we fail in our constitutional duty". "This yojana is our way of saying that just as they safeguard our freedom, we safeguard their dignity and rights," he said. Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal commended NALSA's initiative, stating that the scheme resonates with the government's commitment to inclusive justice, digital empowerment, and fast-tracking cases involving defence personnel. Chief Justice of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, Justice Arun Palli, praised the scheme and emphasised the need for judiciary-led technological interventions to prioritise and fast-track such cases, ensuring that the limited leave time of defence personnel is not spent in prolonged legal processes. The launch of Veer Parivaar Sahayata Yojana 2025 marks a milestone in bridging the gap between legal services and the nation's defenders, echoing NALSA's motto of "Access to Justice for All.

Congress slams govt for ‘institutional sabotage' over Justice Yashwant Varma impeachment
New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday accused the government of " institutional sabotage " for refusing to admit the Opposition-backed impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Varma in the Rajya Sabha , while proceeding with a similar motion in the Lok Sabha signed by both ruling and Opposition MPs. Senior Congress leader and lawyer Abhishek Singhvi said the Centre had ignored former RS Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar's move to make the Opposition motion "property of the House" before his resignation. He warned that the government's conduct could give Justice Varma procedural grounds to challenge the impeachment.

He also linked the episode to Dhankhar's abrupt resignation, questioning if he was forced out and if MPs were pressured to sign additional papers. Singhvi added that the Congress had first raised corruption allegations in the Varma case, while the BJP was silent. Live Events Singhvi further alleged double standards, pointing to the government's inaction on a pending impeachment notice against Justice Shekhar Yadav over hate speech. He said the AICC legal department would hold a conference on August 2 on challenges to the Constitution.
