Correct Answer

(B) Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar

Explanation

Solution: The statement "The State Government cannot avoid their constitutional obligation to provide free legal services to the poor accused by pleading financial or administrative inability" was addressed in the case of Option B: Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar . This landmark case dealt with the issue of providing free legal services to indigent (poor) accused persons who were unable to afford legal representation. In this case, the Supreme Court of India held that the state government could not evade its constitutional duty to provide legal aid to financially disadvantaged individuals accused of crimes by citing financial or administrative constraints. The court emphasized that access to justice is a fundamental right and that the state must ensure that it is not denied to anyone due to their economic situation. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar . This case established important principles related to the provision of free legal services to the poor accused in India.
