Uripok AC MLA L Nandakumar Singh, Justice H Kaminikumar Singh and Justice Maibam Binoykumar Singh were also present at the occasion at the guests of honour.
In his address, RK Manisana reminded all concerned that MSLSA was constituted to ensure expeditious justice to the aggrieved parties and free legal service to the economically deprived section of the society.
Speaking at the occasion, Justice (Retd) M Binoykumar said inspite of the enacting MSLSA Act in 1987 the same could not be implemented in the State for some time.
However, after its implementation many derived benefits of legal services and the same service is being provided at all the districts, he said and called upon legal practitioners to ensure justice is served to the deprived section of the society.
