KOLAR: Karnataka High Court judge and Karnataka Legal Services Authority executive chairman V. Gopala Gowda urged young lawyers to work towards creating legal awareness among rural masses so that they can enjoy their rights envisaged in the Constitution.

Realising the Herculean job of providing justice to the people at grassroots level, there was a thinking in the legal fraternity to create a band of barefoot advocates like barefoot doctors in China, Mr. Gopala Gowda said here. The judge was inaugurating a “Janata Adalat” at court complex on Saturday.

V.G. Sabhahit, Judge, Karnataka High Court, emphasised the role of KLSA in disposing of thousands of cases, thus helping the poor people. The alternative dispute resolution of the State had become a model to the country, he said. District judge A.V. Chandrashekhar, KLSA district secretary Mallikarjun Kinekar, and Pragathi Grameena Bank chairman Vincent D’ Silva were present.
