Live LawAdvocates Welfare Fund Trust has informed the Delhi High Court that it has earmarked ₹1 crore for providing financial assistance to advocates in Delhi who have been pushed to indigent condition due to COVID19 lockdown. The Trust further informed the Division Bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Prateek Jalan that this support will be provided over and above the fund earmarked earlier for reimbursing advocates for expenses incurred in COVID19 treatment. Appearing for the Trust, Additional Solicitor General Sanjay Jain submitted that the meeting of the subcommittee had decided to extend the scope of the ex-gratia support to those advocates also who are not the patients of COVID19 but are in indigent condition due to the COVID19 lockdown. Earlier, the Trust had earmarked ₹2 crore for reimbursing the medical expenses incurred by the advocates in getting their treatment done for COVID19.
