Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad

Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad (ABAP), established on 7 September 1991, is a national organization of legal professionals committed to reforming India's colonial-era legal system in alignment with Bharatiya traditions, values, and societal needs. Recognizing the disconnect between British legal legacy and Indian civilizational ethos, ABAP strives to evolve a justice system rooted in indigenous philosophy while remaining modern and efficient.

 

ABAP works to inspire idealism within the legal fraternity, improve the quality of the Bar and judiciary, and make the system more responsive, especially for marginalized communities. Through seminars, symposia, and lectures on constitutional, legal, and societal issues, it equips advocates to better serve justice in the Bharatiya spirit. With a strong pan-India presence, ABAP organizes national councils, conferences, and continuous education programs, including study circles and its quarterly journal, Nyayapravah.

 

It also offers free legal aid via Nyay Kendras, supports women’s participation, and champions the rights of deprived groups through public interest litigation and social outreach. ABAP plays a vital role in law-making, justice delivery, and advocacy for the downtrodden—believing that lawyers are the frontline defenders of justice and social order. It represents the collective force of Sajjan Shakti—India’s righteous energy.
