The Haryana Official Language (Amendment) Act, 2020

General20202 sections

This Act amends the Haryana Official Language Act, 1969 to require that all judicial proceedings in Haryana be conducted in Hindi. It applies to civil and criminal courts subordinate to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, revenue courts, rent tribunals, and any other courts established by the State Government. The legislation requires the State Government to provide necessary infrastructure and staff training within six months of coming into force. This matters because it reinforces Hindi as the primary working language in state judicial proceedings, promoting linguistic consistency and supporting the state's commitment to using official languages as required by constitutional provisions.
