Know Us
Center for Legal Aid Program [we call it CLAP] is basically a group of law teachers and students. We believe in seeking and bringing the change by doing our little individual and collective deeds. To put it simply, and objectively, we are volunteers willing to provide free legal assistance to anyone in need. Additionally, we seek the cause to improve the legal scenario in the state of Jharkhand. We visit remote places and spread awareness regarding how and when law comes to their aid. We list up their problems and seek remedy from the concerned authorities. We are primarily dedicated to spreading awareness about various legal issues that concern the day to day life to the people of Jharkhand. This is achieved through various mediums including the newspaper, radio shows, street plays, awareness camps, seminars, etc. We also, being a centre invite and interact with eminent concerned authorities of the area to update ourselves and put forward the problems in Jharkhand.
Center for Legal Aid and Program, NUSRL [CLAP] is a student cum faculty run society with an aim to spread legal awareness and give real time effective legal aid to the marginalized section of our society. CLAP was established in the very first year of the inception of the University and now it has an experience of three years.
Our students successfully intervened in an ongoing PIL before High Court of Jharkhand to be added as a necessary “party respondent”
One of the major achievements of Center for Legal Aid came when six member students filed an application with a prayer to be impleaded as a party respondent for bringing on record certain relevant facts for just decision in the ongoing Public Interest Writ Petition in High Court of Ranchi (WP (PIL) 2347/2012) with respect to the allocation of land for the construction of University Campus.
The Hon’ble High Court was pleased to allow the application and our student members of Center of Legal Aid were included as a necessary party. It is also pertinent to mention that Hon’ble Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court was kind enough to note in its order (Order No. 7 Dated : 11th September, 2012) the noteworthy work of our volunteers students for providing valuable data on the matter.
