Difference between sclsc and scmiglac

Yes, there is a difference between the Supreme Court Legal Services Authority (SCLSA) and the Supreme Court Middle Income Group Legal Aid Society (MIGLAS).

The SCLSA was established under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, to provide legal aid and assistance to the marginalized and weaker sections of society, including women, children, SC/ST, and persons with disabilities. The SCLSA primarily provides free legal aid and services to those who cannot afford it.

On the other hand, the MIGLAS was established in 1994 to provide legal aid and assistance to the middle-income group of people who cannot afford the expensive services of lawyers. MIGLAS provides legal aid and services to people whose annual income is above the limit specified by the Legal Services Authorities Act, but is not sufficient to afford the expensive services of lawyers.

The SCLSA is primarily focused on providing legal aid and services to the marginalized and weaker sections of society, while the MIGLAS is focused on providing legal aid and services to the middle-income group of people. While both organizations are associated with the Supreme Court of India, they have different mandates and target groups.

It is important to note that the SCLSA also provides legal aid and services to the middle-income group of people in certain cases where the circumstances warrant it, but the primary focus of the SCLSA is on the marginalized and weaker sections of society
