Gujarat High Court Rejects PIL for Use of Gujarati Language in Proceedings
The Gujarat High Court has rejected a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Vikashkumar Solanki seeking permission to use the Gujarati language in the court’s proceedings.
The court informed the petitioner that a similar PIL requesting the introduction of Gujarati as a medium of proceedings had been dismissed earlier, and another petition on the same issue cannot be filed.
When the petitioner argued that language use was a fundamental right, Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal responded, “It is not a matter of fundamental right. While speaking and preserving a language is a fundamental right, using it in an institution is not.”
The court also noted that the High Court’s dismissal order had been upheld by the Supreme Court.
