Tribhuwan Pandey (Advocate) 20 February 2009
In every court there is a panel of lawyers 'amicus curie'. A person who is helpless and cannot afford lawyer to conduct his case may get the help of the amicus curie. Simply to file an application before the court and the court may appoint the amicus curie for him.

In order to file or defend any proceeding in court, a person whose annual income does not exceeds Rs.50000'/ (Fifty thousand) is eligible to get free legal aid through District or Taluka Legal Services Authority. Benefits under order XXXIII of Civil procedure Code may also be availed by economically weakers to file or defend any civil proceeding in court. However, prior to it he has to file application seeking permission of the same to do so.
