I have a simple question. How trustworthy are legal aid lawyers? Is it possible that they might go to the other party and make a secret deal and weaken my case and make me lose the case? If yes what’s the remedy?

Is it possible? Yes. Does everyone in legal aid do it? No. There are some really great personalities in the legal aid department who genuinely try to help people.

Tbh, you get what you pay for and in the present case, you pay nothing and the state pays like 5000 per matter…

Not to demotivate you or anything but just think for yourself whether someone would dedicate his heart and soul for a referred case?

That’s a matter of perspective. The panel lawyer stands to get only 5000 regardless of the outcome of the case. If you expect someone to perform like Jethmalani for your case, then hard luck mate.

But on the contrary, if there’s some budding/rising advocate who takes this opportunity as a podium to shine (assuming the case at hand has done debatable factual and legal questions), then that person might try his best.

At the end of the day, everyone has their wants and needs. Could be financial or could be intangible like respect and recognition.

Possible yes.
Main issue – overburdened with too many cases
