Arjun Ram Meghwal emphasized that the success of the digital legal aid scheme depends on active collaboration with NGOs and legal trusts. He reiterated the constitutional intent that no person should be kept in jail without a legal basis. The minister noted that the previous system often delayed the implementation of court orders, leading to avoidable imprisonment. Strengthening the existing free legal aid framework through technology is seen as a critical step toward faster, fairer justice.
