Long-awaited: Language of justice should get justice soon

The language of justice should be accessible, simple and easily understandable. If there is justice in favour of someone, but he cannot understand it, then that justice remains incomplete.

The statement of Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Justice of India NV Ramana in the meeting of Hon’ble Judges of High Courts and Chief Ministers of the State is historic and long-awaited. 

The acceptance of the importance of justice in Indian languages ​​in one voice by the chief representatives of the executive and judiciary, if implemented, will prove to be a milestone in the Indian judicial system. 

This topic has been raised for a long time by respected Atul Bhai Kothari ji, National Secretary of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas. Many works have also been done on this subject through the projects of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas, Bharatiya Bhasha Manch and Bharatiya Bhasha Abhiyan. In such a situation, it is a pleasant matter for all the workers of Nyas as well as crores of Indians. 

A person desirous of justice cannot understand the justice received, or cannot understand the debate made by his lawyer, this is also an example of linguistic injustice. The language of justice should be accessible and simple, so that the plaintiff, respondent and general public can understand it easily. If there is justice in the favour of the someone, but he cannot understand it, then that justice remains incomplete. 

Honourable Prime Minister, in his speech, discussed two methods of writing law, in which the first language of law and the language of the general public as the second language. The implementation of this scheme will definitely reduce the delay and other obstacles in getting justice to the general public. 

If the study of law will also be done in Indian languages, then jurists will be able to easily interpret the laws in the language of the common man.  For a long time, the education of engineering, medical science and law is also being talked about by the Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas. From this point of view, the speech of the representatives of the executive and the judiciary is very pleasant. 

The public should also register their immediate positive response on these important points, so that the matter reaches the policy makers that the public has approved the proposal to get justice in Indian languages, respecting this address. This reaction by the public can be done through different means. 

I am registering this response through the article, some people can send thanks giving letters. Some people can make this topic the voice of the public by positivity on social media. This type of work will act as an acceleration in this goodwill. The collective voice of the public will be helpful in getting its implementation done expeditiously. In the future, there is a great need to work on the Indian vision of justice as well. There is a need to develop Indian vision in all fields by eliminating the colonial mentality like the compulsion of the advocate to appear in the court wearing a black coat against the environment. 

In the celebration of the elixir of independence, the colonial mentality received in the celebration of independence has become a conch shell.       

Honourable Prime Minister, in his speech, discussed two methods of writing law, in which the first language of law and the language of the general public as the second language. The implementation of this scheme will definitely reduce the delay and other obstacles in getting justice to the general public. If the study of law will also be done in Indian languages, then jurists will be able to easily interpret the laws in the language of the common man.
