Legal aid to accused: Courts must assign an advocate at State expense when the accused cannot afford representation. Section 341 requires legal aid at State expense where an accused in trial or appeal is unrepresented and the Court finds the accused lacks means; the Court must assign an advocate for defence. The High Court, with State Government approval, may make rules on selecting such advocates, facilities to be provided, and fees payable by the Government. The State Government may notify extension of these provisions to other classes of trials as they apply to Courts of Session.
