What is the language to be used in the Supreme Court and High Courts of India and for Acts, Bills, etc.?
Until Parliament provides otherwise by law, the language to be used in the Supreme Court and in every High Court, as well as the authoritative texts of all Bills, Acts, Ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, and bye-laws, shall be in the English language. However, the Governor of a State may, with the previous consent of the President, authorize the use of Hindi or any other language used for official purposes in the State for proceedings in the High Court having its principal seat in that State.
