In a notice to the Government of Tamil Nadu, the Centre has reiterated that Tamil cannot be made the official language of the Madras High Court, reports The NewsMinute. The notice, issued on Tuesday (30 January) cites a 2012 Supreme Court order on the matter.
Similar proposals had been shot down by the apex court in 1997 and 1999. The matter has seen heated debates with lawyers of the the High Court and its bench in Madurai demanding the use of Tamil as its official language.
All High Courts in India conduct their proceedings in English while lower courts conduct their proceedings in the state’s official language.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
