      A A member of a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D A person in receipt of annual income less than the prescribed amount for a case before the Supreme Court. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E A person convicted for an offence under the Dowry Prohibition Act. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, provides free legal services to specific sections of society, including members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes, women, children, and persons in custody or under undeserved want, as listed in Section 12. While the Act covers people in custody and those with low income, it does not exclude individuals based on their conviction for a specific offense like those under the Dowry Prohibition Act; rather, eligibility is determined by the categories listed in Section 12.
