Abstract: Giving free legal services to the underprivileged and destitute who cannot afford to hire an attorney to represent them in court, before a tribunal, or before an authority is known as legal aid. Ensuring that everyone has equal access to justice requires legal aid. In this article, the author has tried to focus on the methodology and function of the court in relation to the legal assistance entitlement. There is nothing to the idea that the right to receive legal aid is a fundamental right. But the result of the Indian Constitution's Article 21's judicial interpretation of the most prized Right. The exposition of India's constitutional right to free legal assistance and the guidelines set out by the Legal Services Authority Act, 1987 serve as the article's conclusion.
