My elder sister's case is going on in which my brother-in-law has filed the case, but the fault is my brother-in-law's, now we are getting a notice from the court. And my brother-in-law has hired a lawyer but we can't because of our situation we can't go(Financial issue). My elder Sister was beaten by brother-in-law 4 years ago, so my elder Sister came to our house.

A.It is important to understand that legal proceedings can be complex, and it is crucial to have proper legal representation. However, if you are unable to hire a lawyer due to financial constraints, there are some options available to you.

First, you can approach legal aid organizations or legal clinics in your area to seek assistance. These organizations may provide legal services to individuals who are unable to afford a lawyer. You can search for legal aid organizations or legal clinics in your area online or through local directories.

Second, you can also seek help from pro bono lawyers who offer their services for free. You can approach law firms or individual lawyers who provide pro bono services and see if they are willing to take up your case.

Third, you can consider representing yourself in court. While this may not be the ideal situation, it is possible to represent yourself in court if you are unable to afford a lawyer. You can seek guidance from legal aid organizations or pro bono lawyers to prepare for your case and navigate the legal process.

It is important to note that being unable to afford a lawyer should not prevent you from seeking justice. You have a right to legal representation, and there are resources available to help you.

Thank You

A.Dear Sir,
FREE LEGAL SERVICE BY CENTRAL GOVT AND STATE GOVERNMENTS
http://doj.gov.in/page/litigant-service
Litigant Service
Access to justice is a fundamental element of a just, equitable and civilized society.  The vision of Access to Justice for all means that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen for reason of economic and other disability.  With this vision Department of Justice initiated a pro-bono legal services scheme to provide free legal assistance to the marginalized applicants/litigants.
An online application form has been created below where the litigants can register information about their case or grievance. The Department will then connect them to a pro- bono advocate registered with the Department who will provide them legal aid free of cost. The nature of legal assistance provided shall be legal advice, drafting of case related document(s), appearance in the court (all or either of the three) depending on the availability of the advocates.
It is to be noted that, this endeavor of Department of Justice is a step in the direction of strengthening legal aid and increasing access to justice to those who cannot afford it and in no way it guarantees a favorable decision in the court for the litigant/applicant.
Further, pro- bono legal assistance provided by the advocates is a voluntary service where the advocates willingly devote their time to provide legal aid to the poor and needy applicants. Once a litigant/applicant has been connected to a preferable pro- bono advocate by the Department, the Department is not responsible for the quality of legal aid provided or time committed by the advocate to the case of the litigant.
Both the litigant/applicant and the advocate are free to discontinue their association at any given point of time giving valid reasons for the same to the Department within 15 days.
We hope that the pro- bono legal services will be a significant step in enabling access to quality legal aid and assistance to the people.
Interested persons may apply for pro- bono legal aid through the online service
