National judicial infrastructure authority

👉The proposed NJIAI could work as a central agency with each State having its own State Judicial Infrastructure Authority, much like the**National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) model.

👉NJIAI will take control of the **budgeting and infrastructure development of subordinate courts in the country.

👉The proposed NJIAI should be placed under the Supreme Court of India unlike NALSA which is serviced by the Ministry of Law and Justice.

👉It will not suggest any major policy change but will give complete freedom to HCs to come up with projects to strengthen ground-level courts.

👉In the NJIAI there could be a few High Court judges as members, and some central government officials because the centre must also know where the funds are being utilised.

👉Similarly, in the State Judicial Infrastructure Authority, in addition to the Chief Justice of the respective High Court and a nominated judge, four to five district court judges and state government officials could be members.
