Legal aid is a tool that enables the impoverished or otherwise disadvantaged to afford any kind of support when they seek justice and a fair trial in court. Any legal system would be incomplete without legal help, which is why it is essential to achieving the aims of the system. "Equality before the law" and "equal protection of the laws" for all are the objectives, along with a Supreme Court narrative that supports Article 14 that works. By ensuring that the weaker and oppressed groups in society have equal access to justice, legal assistance aims to uphold the constitutional commitment in letter and spirit. Although the legal aid movement has failed in its goals, free legal aid has long been regarded as a necessary element of the rule of law. There is a significant gap between the goals set and accomplished. The primary obstacle to India's push for legal aid is legal ignorance. Because individuals continue to be ignorant of their basic rights, the legal aid movement's objective has not yet been fulfilled. The poor are abused and robbed of their rights because they lack legal understanding. It is ignorance of the law that allows the impoverished to be taken advantage of and denied their privileges and rights. In order to fulfil the constitution's promise to provide equal and fair justice to all segments of society, especially the indigent segment, in order to ensure social justice, it is crucial to raise public awareness of the issue and make sure that legal aid is actually provided. Failure to do so will frequently result in abuse of the rights and benefits of the poor.
