The Jharkhand Advocates' Clerks Welfare Fund Act, 2018

Civil201823 sections

This Act establishes a comprehensive welfare fund and association for advocates’ clerks employed throughout Jharkhand to provide essential financial security. It mandates the management of resources to assist certified clerks and their families during unforeseen hardships. Specifically, the legislation offers support to the spouses, elderly parents, or young children of clerks who pass away or lose their jobs. By formalizing this social safety net, the law ensures that indispensable legal support staff are protected from destitution and that active members of the legal profession can continue to work without the fear of leaving their dependants unsupported.
