Tamil Nadu chief minister to seek official status for Tamil in Madras High Court
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay will table a resolution in the state assembly urging the central government to designate Tamil as the primary language of the Madras High Court.
The Tamil Nadu government plans to move a formal motion in the legislative assembly on Thursday. The proposal asks the Union government to recognise Tamil as the chief language used in the Madras High Court's proceedings. Officials say the step aims to strengthen the role of the regional language in the judiciary. The move follows recent policy announcements by the state, including a rise in the milk procurement price. No response from the centre has been reported yet.
Why it matters
It could reshape language use in a major Indian high court, affecting legal access and regional identity.
