Justice Without a Price Tag | PRACHETA SINGH | TEDxShiva Shiksha Sadan Youth
Justice Without a Price Tag takes the audience inside the courtroom to uncover an uncomfortable truth — justice, though a fundamental right, often comes at a cost many cannot afford. Through real-life stories of ordinary people caught in unfair situations and firsthand experiences from the judicial world, the talk exposes how expensive legal aid can turn rights into privileges. It also highlights transformative initiatives like NALSA’s Early Access to Justice, which ensure free and competent legal support when people need it most. With insight, empathy, and wit, the talk calls upon students, volunteers, and citizens to become catalysts of change — spreading awareness and bridging the gap between the law and the people. It is a powerful reminder that justice must never be sold; it must remain every person’s right, not a privilege. I was appointed the youngest Judge in 2012 at the age of 25, driven by my passion to eradicate injustice. I am a strong advocate of free and competent legal aid under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, and believe that liberty and rights should never come with a price tag. I actively promote awareness about NALSA schemes that provide free legal representation to the vulnerable and strongly believe in the power of Para-Legal Volunteers (PLVs) and college students as “modern-day Jambavants” spreading knowledge of legal rights. I am a proponent of mediation and community dispute resolution to foster peace and harmony. I also encourage law students to run Legal Aid Clinics, adopt villages, and actively facilitate social justice, helping ensure that access to justice is fair, inclusive, and impactful.
