## MINISTER OF LAW AND JUSTICE (SHRI D. V. SADANANDA GOWDA)

However,  in  order  to  augment  the  resources  of  the  State Governments,  a  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  (CSS)  for  Development  of  Infrastructure Facilities for Judiciary is being implemented under which central assistance is provided to the State Governments for the construction of court buildings and residential units for District and Subordinate Courts.

The  details  of  Budget  Estimates,  Funds  Sanctioned  to  the  State  Governments  and Union Territories during the last  three  years  &  current  year  and funds for which  Utilisation Certificates  have  become  due  but  not  yet  received  have  been  indicated  in  the  Statement annexed. On  receipt  of  the  complete  proposals  from  the  State  Governments  including utilisation  certificates  for  the  funds  sanctioned  earlier,  necessary  financial  assistance  is sanctioned to the State Governments in terms of  the guidelines of the scheme, subject to availability of funds.
