Translation of English to another language how far successful. The judge in HC are from another State a common language in Law is English. Meaning of certain words like deceit, decption, intention dishonest has defenitions a meaning in English common law. so better we follow English in Court matters just in Higher judicature at least.

Everyone having the passion and love on their mother language no doubt about it....... but somewhere, somehow we have to be unified and strictly follow the rules and regulations as part of a unique society... all these rules or laws are made by us simply for a moral commitment and to administering ourselves........ So Hindi and regional languages in Higher Judiciary is not necessary, in lower judiciary is different and we are using somewhat extent the regional languages for the purpose of the parties’ understanding, but we are talking about official language, it should be a common language which is having certain professional ethics and efficacy…. This is my opinion in order to safeguard the spirit of legal profession.

my answer is negative because if regional language will be allowed in higher judiciary, a litigant will have problem to engage an counsel / advocate as he has to find out such advocate, who will know such language or he would spend more amount for getting brief into English language, which is at present is done by the concerned court before sending the record and proceedings to the concerned higher court. it is to be noted that to approach higher court is already out of reach of poor persons and Therefore it will will be allowed, there are many other problems will be faced by the judiciary itself for appointing the staff knowing such language. No doubt it is also not an easy job.

These are not comments of a layman. Read: New Delhi: The Law Commission of India has rejected as “non-feasible” a parliamentary panel’s proposal to introduce Hindi as a compulsory language of work in the Supreme Court. In its report submitted to Union Law Minister H R Bhardwaj on Friday, Law Commission Chairman Justice A R Lakshmanan dismissed the proposal. “Language is a highly emotional issue” and “imposing it on any section of the people against their will would prove to be counter-productive,” said the law panel, rejecting the July 2005 proposal of the Parliamentary panel on official language.

Love for one's mothertongue in a country with countless languages and derivatives will create mayhem. You have seen what Raj Thackerey did with Marathi.

We have total chaos in the country. You write a letter to Kerala and get reply in Malyalam. Then reply in Assamese. Then in Oriya. Then Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Gujarati. What are we up to?

If all the regional languages are approved to official language in higher judiciary, then it will give rise to lot of problems relating interpretation of statutes

No, the reasons are that the law is in english and english is a language which has a definite word for each aspect. Further it would hamper justice if judges are transfered from one state to another. More over it would be a strrain on the litigants who will have to submit translated copies to judges out of the state.

It will difficult for judges to deliver judgement in regional or hindi language it is not understandable for litgants and judges who belongs to different places

Because it is more difficult to interprete laws in a better way in Hindi.

Because the total set-up is readily available in English. The whole of the literature and working process in the higher judiciary is Very well established in English language. Moreover, it is an all India service even an ordinary prson cannot understand the languages and have to face a serious problem while in the other state. Hence, presently it is not possible to change the language and the Englsih known and prevailing the process is well and going smooth with the system. J.L. Naagar, Advocate, Jalandhar City.

yES, IF THE OTHER REGIONAL LANGUAGES ARE TAKEN IN PRACTICE, IT CAN BE EASY TO UNDERSTAND FOR THE PEOPLE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.

no because it is one unique language which has kept us united and by bringing in more than one language as an official language we are definately creating it a problem for everyone

there should be only one national language in higher judiciary either english or hindi. various languages create problem to judges, lawyers and litigants and public also.

It may create a problem for people (litigants,witnesses etc)who do not know Hindi or other regional languages

Arguments are generally made in higher courts in English and the basic literature under the Indian system is primarily based on English and American text books and case laws. Judges at the higher level should be left free to evolve their own pattern of delivering judgments. It also pointed to the transfer policy for High Court Judges and said a Judge compelled to deliver judgements in a language in which he or she is not well-versed might find it ‘extremely difficult... to work judicially.’ A High Court Judge cannot be expected to learn a new language at his age and to apply it in delivering judgements every time he or she is transferred, it said. ‘At any rate no language should be thrust upon the Judges of the higher judiciary and they should be left free to deliver their judgements in the language they prefer. It is important to remember that every citizen, every Court has the right to understand the law laid down finally by the Apex Court and at present one should appreciate that such a language is only English. The use of English language also facilitates the movement of lawyers from High Courts to the Apex Court since they are not confronted with any linguistic problems and English remains the language at both the levels. That apart every legislation-- authoritatively enacted in English-- may have a Hindi/Regional authoritative translation at the central level.
