Chief Justice of India (CJD) Bhushan R Gavai on Sunday called for a structural overhaul of the legal services authorities in the country, proposing that these bodies should be guided by advisory committees comprising future CJis ~ executive chairpersons of these bodies ~ to ensure continuity of purpose and sustained implementation of long-term reforms.

Speaking at the valedictory session of the National Conference on “Strengthening Legal Aid Delivery “Mechanisms” in New Delhi, the Ci noted that while the National Legal services Authority (NALSA) and state legal services authorities have expanded their footprint over the decades, their work often gets shaped by the tenure and priorities of individual executive chairpersons, making consistency difficult to achieve.
