Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay will move a resolution in the state Assembly on Thursday urging the Centre to recognise Tamil as the principal language of the Madras High Court. The resolution will call for a framework to make all High Court judgments, decrees, and judicial orders available in Tamil, citing the language's classical status and advancements in legal vocabulary. It references existing legal provisions allowing state official languages in High Court judgments with gubernatorial and presidential consent, and follows a similar 2006 Assembly resolution forwarded to the union government.
