520			_aThe independence of judiciary is an essential element of the Indian Constitution. However, the concept of judicial independence links with that of financial autonomy too. If the judiciary is made independent without financial autonomy, it is not able to serve the purpose for which the autonomy has been given to it by the Constitution. Lack of financial autonomy and poor allocation of funds to the judiciary is the main cause and concern both to the public and to the judiciary. If the same trend continues any more even after six decades of Independence, it will certainly result in a chaotic condition in the years to come. Taking into consideration the important role played by judiciary in shaping the polity of a country, this article analyses the concept of financial autonomy with a comparative perspective and identifies the steps need to be taken to restore the confidence of the common people before the institution reaches its blink. - Reproduced.
