the justice delivery system. They work indiscriminately, irrespective of
caste, creed and religion to uphold the constitution, the rule of the law
and to earn high dignity of judiciary in the public esteem catering to the
needs of the Society. In spite of owing social, moral, legal
responsibility they are to lead an insecured life due to lack of adequate
welfare measure at their need. This is an attempt to show beacons light

assitance at his need by creating welfare fund of the Association. It is
found that the provisions for welfare of the Advocates have been made by
the State and Bar Councils are not sufficient. Therefore, in addition to
the same, the present Scheme is prepared to provide assistance to the
members of the High Court Bar Association which includes Advocates and
Staffs of the Association in order to lead a decent life with dignity.
