The legal aid is given by every State for vindicating the cause of justice. However, the rules restrict the granting of such facilities, where the criterian is the "income". If the person, irrespective of his disqualification, earns the amount exceeding Rs. 20,000.00, such person is ineligible to get the legal aid. The contents and write up does not divulge the per annum income, the nature of injustice caused etc.. Hoever, there does not appear to be any provision that merely because the person is handicapped, the legal aid should be provided as a matter of course. 

 

Requesting to disclose full facts for further final advise.
