Tamil Nadu Assembly Urges Centre to Recognise Tamil as Madras High Court's Principal Language
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay moved a resolution in the state Assembly urging the Centre to recognise Tamil as the principal language of the Madras High Court. The resolution highlights Tamil's status as a classical language, its developed legal vocabulary, and calls for a framework to enable judgments and court proceedings in Tamil. It references existing legal provisions and past resolutions, noting the Supreme Court's earlier refusal to approve Tamil as the High Court's primary language. The Assembly adopted the resolution unanimously, seeking constitutional approval and procedural support.
