I am using the LiquidCrystal library with an Arduino UNO to print some text from a serial port.

Now, problem is that whenever I use the autoscroll() function, no text is displayed on the LCD but just to check, I am printing it out on Serial Monitor and it works just fine.

How can I solve this?

void setup(){
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop(){
  if (Serial.available()) {
        delay(100);
    lcd.clear();
    lcd.autoscroll();
    while (Serial.available() > 0) {
      print = Serial.read();
      lcd.write(print);
      Serial.write(print);
     }
   }
}

The moment I remove the autoscroll() function, it starts showing up on the LCD. Every other function is working just fine with the LCD.

You have to set the cursor to the right side of the screen before you invoke autoscroll, as shown in the example here: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystalAutoscroll.
