Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) is constituted under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. According to the Act, the Chief Justice of India serves as the Patron-in-Chief, not the Executive Chairman. The Executive Chairman is the second senior-most Judge of the Supreme Court of India. Statement 1 is therefore incorrect. Statements 2, 3, and 4 are correct as NALSA's primary objectives include providing free and competent legal services to weaker sections of society to ensure equal opportunity [2]. It is also mandated to lay down policies, principles, and guidelines for State Legal Services Authorities to implement legal programs nationwide [2]. Furthermore, the Act empowers legal service authorities at various levels to organize Lok Adalats for the amicable settlement of disputes .
