भारत में विभिन्न न्यायालयों का ढांचा
भारत की न्याय वितरण व्यवस्था (justice delivery system) में सुधार
भारत की न्याय वितरण व्यवस्था के सामने मौजूद अनेक संकट उस बात से जुड़े हुए हैं, जिसे मुख्य न्यायाधीश ने 'ध्वस्त' बुनियादी ढांचा कहा है. हकीकत में यह अनुभवजन्य रूप से ज्ञात है कि न्याय प्रदान करने में उत्पादकता में बुनियादी ढांचे की ...

अंत में, जैसा कि विधि की <anchor>रिपोर्ट</anchor> में  कहा गया है, केंद्र और राज्य सरकारों के बीच समन्वय की खामियां, इसकी अकार्यक्षमता में वृद्धि करती है.[xxvi] [xxvi]  केंद्र सरकार अपने पास उपलब्ध वित्तीय संसाधनों को देखकर अपने हिस्से की राशि जारी कर देती है और फिर यह उम्मीद करती है कि उस वक्त लागू अनुपात के हिसाब से राज्य सरकार भी इसके लिए राशि की व्यवस्था करें. हालांकि अधिकांश राज्य सरकारें यह मानती हैं कि उसने केंद्र सरकार को जो अपनी कार्य योजना  सौंपी है, केंद्र उसे ध्यान में रखकर अपने हिस्से की राशि आवंटित कर देगा. विधि की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार यह भ्रम केंद्रीय न्याय विभाग और राज्य सरकारों के बीच होने वाले पत्रचार से स्पष्ट हो जाता है.[xxvii] [xxvii] ऐसे में सीएसएस का दृष्टिकोण साफ होने और केंद्र में लगातार आने वाली सरकारों द्वारा इसके लिए पर्याप्त राशि भी आवंटित होने के बावजूद, इस योजना को बनाने के दौरान रह गई त्रुटियां और राज्य सरकारों के हिस्से में रुचि की कमी और इसे अपनाने की अनिच्छा इसकी प्रभावशीलता को लड़खड़ाने पर मजबूर कर देती हैं.

# Budgeting Better for Courts- An evaluation of the Rs 7460 crores released under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme for Judicial Infrastructure

Summary: This report provides an evaluation of the Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Judicial Infrastructure by identifying the issues in its design and its implementation.

The District Judiciary in India plays a crucial role in the administration of justice as it is often the first point of contact between citizens and the justice system. One of the reasons identified by the judiciary for the delays at the level of District Judiciary is the shortage of judges. One of the reasons for the judiciary not being able to fill its vacancies is the lack of courtrooms and residences to house new judges. Contrary to the usual narrative of under-funding for judicial infrastructure, the fact of the matter is that the Centre under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme for Development of Infrastructure Facilities for the Judiciary (‘Scheme’) would have released Rs 7460.24 crores between 1993 and 2020, primarily for the District Judiciary. Despite this significant release, the District Judiciary has only 17,817 courtrooms available for itself against a sanctioned strength of 22,750 judges.

In this context, this report provides an evaluation of the Scheme which covers the construction of courtrooms and residential units for the District Judiciary. The Scheme is funded jointly by the Central and State Government, with the Department of Justice, Ministry of Law and Justice being the nodal Ministry. The report identifies the issues related to design and practice at the Central level. Additionally, it also looks at the challenges faced by the State Governments in implementing the Scheme.
