The Madras High Court Advocates Association has challenged a 1965 Union Cabinet decision that continued English as the common language for the Supreme Court and all High Courts.
According to the association, the decision came to its notice only in 2025 after a lawyer obtained details under the Right to Information Act, 2005.
The challenge concerns the long-standing use of English in higher courts, though no further details of the legal action were provided in the input.
