Re.: JUDICIAL INFRASTRUCTURE:

Vide Order dated 12th July, 2010 read with


Order dated 19th July, 2010, following three

I.A. No.279/2010, relating to constitution of three
tier Committees, for ready reference from the
interlocutory application read with Order dated 19th
July, 2010:

(ii) At State level, a State Committee headed by


Chief Secretary be constituted of the following:

1] Chief Secretary
2] Registrar General of the High Court
3] Principal Law Secretary (or Home Secretary as
the case may be) (Member-Secretary)
4] Chief Engineer (State PWD)
5] Principal Secretary, PWD
6] Chief Architect
7] Principal Secretary (Finance)
8] Principal Secretary (Planning)

(Union Territories Administrators will similarly


constitute committees to be referred here as State
Committee for convenience.)

(iii) At Centre level, a Monitoring Committee


headed by Secretary, Department of Justice be
constitute of the following:

1] Secretary, Department of Justice;


2] Registrar General, High Court of Delhi;
3] Additional Secretary & F.A. (for Ministry
of Law and Justice at Shastri Bhawan);
4] Joint Secretary, J-I, Department of Justice;
5] DDG, CPWD;
6] Director, HC & J (Member Secretary);
7] Mr. A.T.M. Sampath, Advocate (Invitee Member]

Till today, Action Taken Report on the


directions given in our order dated 12th July, 2010,
has not been submitted by any of the States/Union
Territories through the Supreme Court Monitoring
Committee. It is not even clear as to whether any
meeting has been called for by the Chief
Secretaries of the States, who are directed to head
the State Committees. In the circumstances, as a
matter of last opportunity, we adjourn this matter
...10/-
- 10 -

by four weeks to enable the Chief Secretaries of


respective States and Administrators of Union
Territories, who have been directed to head the
State Committees, to submit the Status Report on
the steps taken by them pursuant to the Order of
this Court dated 12th July, 2010 read with Order
dated 19th July, 2010 through the Supreme Court
Monitoring Committee.
We may mention that the Registry has
received Registered A.D. cards indicating receipt
of our Order dated 12th July, 2010, from the
following States/Union Territories: Arunachal
Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat,
Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya [Shillong Bench],
Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu,
Union Territories of Daman and Diu, Andaman and
Nicobar, Pudducherry and Lakshadweep.
The learned Solicitor General, who is
present in Court, has assured the Court that those
States which have till date not responded will do
so before the next date of hearing. We direct the
Registry to give a list of those States to the
learned Solicitor General, who will act
accordingly.

In Re.: SETTING UP OF SPV:

Time has come for the Judiciary to raise


it's own resources to meet expenses on account of
“Judicial Infrastructure”, which is lacking in
several States. Huge revenue generation takes
place in the form of imposition of fines, costs and
sale of Court fees, etc., which is not earmarked
...11/-
- 11 -
for “Judicial Infrastructure”. Therefore, this
Court is of the view that it needs to set up a
Special Purpose Vehicle [SPV] on the lines of CAMPA
Funds under which such funds, as and when
collected/raised, will be earmarked for “Judicial
Infrastructure”. For that, an independent SPV is
required to be set up again on the lines of CAMPA
Funds. Accordingly, we hereby request the learned
Solicitor General of India to assist us in setting
up such SPV as well as in the matter of earmarking
such Funds for “Judicial Infrastructure”, the
underlying idea being to put less pressure on the
State and Central Exchequer. The idea behind
setting up SPV is also to have a National Budget on
All-India basis indicating resource raising
measures and utilization thereof for “Judicial
Infrastructure”.
The matter regarding SPV shall stand over
by two weeks.
