Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the use of regional languages in legal proceedings and clarified that while regional languages can be used for understanding by the parties involved, the English version of documents will be considered authoritative for all practical and governmental purposes. This ruling emphasizes the importance of maintaining a standardized language for legal documentation to ensure clarity and uniformity in legal processes.
