In a significant development, the Bombay High Court (HC) started uploading Marathi translations of its judgments on its website.
A separate tab has been made available on the high court website -- bombayhighcourt.nic.in -- where Marathi translations of three judgments, pronounced on February 20, were uploaded on Wednesday, March 1.
The tab 'Nivadak Nirnay' (selected judgments) can be seen on the home page.
Translations of judgments pronounced by division benches of Justices D H Thakur and Kamal Khata, Justices D H Thakur and Abhay Ahuja, and Justices A S Gadkari and P D Naik were made available through this tab for Marathi language readers.
A clarification was also issued stating that the translations should be used only for the purpose of helping litigants understand judgements in their mother-tongue, and not for any other purposes like execution or enforcement of court directives. English would continue to be the official language for judgments, it said.
In January, Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud had launched a service for translating Supreme Court judgments into regional languages.
It is pertinent to note that later, the Kerala High Court recently started uploading its judgments in Malayalam.
