In a landmark case, Advocate P. V. Jeevesh has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Kerala High Court, challenging the Union of India’s decision to title three new criminal laws in Hindi. Scheduled for a hearing today by a division bench comprising Chief Justice A J Desai and Justice V G Arun, the petition argues that the Hindi titles violate Article 348 of the Constitution, which mandates English as the authoritative language for legislative texts. The plea emphasizes that Hindi titles create significant barriers for non-Hindi speaking legal professionals, particularly in southern India, and calls for English nomenclature to ensure national unity and legal clarity.
