Lrnd. Experts,
There is a small and very backward district town of Jharkhand, where no of cases pending is very high. Also there is so many posts are vacant in the court, since last 4 – 5 years. One Sub Judge is in charge of CJM court, and is overburdened also looking after “lok adalat”. All of the judges are overburdened. Condition is very chaotic. Litigants are very poor. Reasons for so many cases are the rouge/corrupt govt. officials with little knowledge. I want the vacant post should be filled as soon as possible, for that where should I write as a native of that place? Is there any NGO which provides legal assistance to the poor, and can open the office here?
Thanks.

as far as legal assistance is conerned, there is a provision of free legal aid in India.
but if u wish to start any such NGO which will provide free legal aid then it will be a welcome step in your area, few such kind of organistions have been working in Punjab.
as far as lack of judicial officers are concerned approach the Ranchi High Court in this context, they may entertain your request as PIL or my direct the state govt, to fulfil the vacant posts as soon as possible.

Filing a Public Interest Litigation with sufficient details will show out the condition of the judiciary as a whole.

The opinion of Ganesan is relevant in the given facts. File PIL before High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi.
