Tamil as official language in HC: MHAA challenges 1965 union Cabinet Committee decision

Chennai, Nov 1 (UNI) Challenging the Constitutional validity of the 1965 union Cabinet Committee's decision denying Indian languages other than Hindi and English as official languages of Constitutional Courts, the Madras High Court Advocates Association (MHAA) has filed a Public Interest Litigation petition in the High Court.
The 1965 decision placing Hindi on a pedestal, makes it clear that English should continue as the language of the Supreme Court and all High Courts till Hindi could replace it.
The PIL petition, filed by MHAA secretary S Arivazhagan, is coming up for hearing on Monday (Nov. 2, 2026) before the First Division Bench of Chief Justice SA Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan.
