General19705 sections

The Rajasthan Official Language (Supplementary Provisions) Act, 1970, regulates the official Hindi translation and linguistic refinement of state laws in Rajasthan. It establishes that Hindi translations of acts, rules, regulations, and orders originally published in English, when authorized by the Governor, serve as authoritative texts. Furthermore, it empowers the Governor to publish revised Hindi versions of laws to correct clerical errors, refine language, or harmonize expressions, provided these changes do not alter the law's legal effect. This law ensures legal clarity, linguistic standardization, and accessible legal texts in Hindi for the public, government administrators, and legal practitioners across the state.
