The Central Government on direction of Justice JR Midha has created a Fund for Scientific Advisers in terms of Section 115 (2) of the Act.

The direction was passed during a patent litigation (Sandeep Jaidka Vs. Rohit Kapur & Ors.) in which the Court held that it would be appropriate to appoint an independent Scientific Adviser to assist this Court and give opinion with respect to the issues in dispute.

Court stated that the remuneration of the Scientific Adviser would be settled out of the funds provided by the Parliament for that purpose.
