Inmates at the Khunti sub-jail participated in a legal awareness training session on Sunday. This session was part of a jail court and legal awareness camp organized by the District Legal Services Authority. The camp took place under the guidance of Principal District and Sessions Judge Rasikesh Kumar.
Empowering Inmates with Legal Knowledge
The main purpose of the camp was to teach the inmates about their legal rights and how the court system works. By understanding these things, inmates can better navigate their legal situations. This legal awareness program is part of a broader effort to ensure everyone has access to justice, especially those who are most vulnerable.
Understanding Legal Rights and Procedures
During the training, the prisoners learned about several important legal topics. These included the importance of having a lawyer and the steps involved in applying for bail. Lawyers explained what rights people have when they are accused of a crime. They also emphasized how important it is for inmates to understand the charges against them. This session was designed to give prisoners the knowledge they need to deal with the legal system more effectively. Learning about the bail application process, for example, can be crucial.

Ongoing Efforts for Justice
Principal District and Sessions Judge Rasikesh Kumar stated, “This legal awareness camp is aimed to reach the most vulnerable section of society so that no one is deprived of justice.” This highlights the dedication to making sure everyone, regardless of their situation, has access to legal help.
This legal awareness program is just one part of a larger effort to provide legal assistance to those who need it most. Similar programs have been started in other jails throughout the state. This shows a commitment to upholding justice and making sure everyone has access to legal representation and information. These sessions are considered very important for promoting fairness and openness in the court system, which helps to create a more just community.
