Supreme Court Rejects PIL Seeking Panel to Make Hindi Official Language
The Supreme Court dismissed a PIL seeking a commission to recommend making Hindi the official language of the apex court, stating such reforms require constitutional amendment and cannot be imposed judicially. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, noted ongoing gradual administrative reforms introducing Hindi and other regional languages in court proceedings, emphasizing respect for India's linguistic diversity. The court maintained that language policy changes must occur through phased reforms rather than court orders.
