Which mobile app was launched to strengthen the pre-litigation mechanism in the country in November 2021?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Citizens’ Tele-Law Mobile App.
In November 2021, the Government of India strengthened its pre-litigation mechanism by launching the Citizens’ Tele‑Law Mobile App. Inaugurated on 13 November 2021 by Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju, this app enhances the existing Tele-Law initiative by enabling citizens to obtain legal advice directly from panel lawyers through their smartphones
The app provides multilingual support, offering e‑tutorials in all scheduled Indian languages, and empowers users to identify legal issues, select appropriate forums, and access consultation for free (for eligible individuals) or for a nominal fee. Operating alongside Common Service Centres (CSCs), it allows convenient access to pre-litigation legal aid for people across the country.
This mobile solution marked a significant step in the Tele-Law journey, making legal services more accessible, affordable, and citizen-centric in line with the Digital India vision.
