New Delhi, Jul 20 (PTI) The government informed Rajya Sabha on Thursday that there was no proposal to change the language of functioning of courts from English to Hindi.
As part of a question on the issue of uniform civil code, a member asked whether the government proposes to change the language of functioning of courts from English to Hindi so that the common people can understand proceedings in their own language.
In his written response, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal replied in the negative.
