This Act establishes a welfare fund specifically for advocates' clerks in the state of Orissa to provide financial security. It creates a dedicated committee to manage the fund, which is financed through the sale of stamps, donations, insurance payouts, and interest on investments. The legislation aims to support these clerks and their families by offering benefits upon retirement or death, ensuring that dependents like widows and children receive assistance when the primary earner can no longer work or has passed away.
