Key legal question
Whether the refusal of legal aid for the LP complaint violated Art. 29(3) of the Constitution
Extracted holding
No. The complaint had no apparent chances of success, and the matter was simple enough to be handled without a lawyer.
Extracted reasoning
Legal aid in LP complaint proceedings is not excluded in principle, but counsel is usually unnecessary under the inquisitorial system unless the case is complex or the interests at stake require it. Here, the salary-calculation dispute was straightforward and could be pursued with free or low-cost non-lawyer assistance.
