Belagavi: The Union Home Department has rejected the request made by Karnataka government for use of Kannada language in the High Court said Law and Parliamentary affairs minister Krishna Byregowda on Tuesday, December 11.
Krishna Byregowda further added that not only Karnataka but other states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu had also made a similar request for using local languages in the High Courts but the union government had rejected all such proposals.
An ordinance to this effect had been passed by the Karnataka government, but even the High Court circuit bench in Karnataka had opined that it was not workable, the minister added.
High Court sessions and verdicts routinely come up before the Supreme Court and other courts in the states and if regional languages are used it becomes difficult to carry out court proceedings. Hence it cannot be allowed stated the union government.
