Official Language Policy of the union :

A Summary

Constitution of India Part V (210) Part VI
(210) and Part XVII

(1) Constitutional Provisions regarding official language:

The Constitution of India contains separate provisions in respect of (a) the official language of the Union, (b) the language to be used for transaction of business in Parliament, and (c) the language to be used for legislation and in the Supreme Court and in the High Courts.

Article 343 of the Constitution of India lays down that "the official language of the Union shall be Hindi in Devanagari Script" and "the form of numerals to be used for official purposes of the Union shall be the international form of Indian numerals."

(2) Language to be used in the Parliament :

Under Article 120(1) of the Constitution, business in Parliament shall be transacted in Hindi or in English. This is subject to the Proviso that the Chairman or the Speaker or persons acting as such, may permit any member who cannot adequately express himself in Hindi or in English to address the House in his mother tongue.

Under Clause (2) of the same Article, business in Parliament shall be transacted in Hindi only (and the mother tongue in special cases) from 26th January 1965 unless Parliament by law otherwise provides. Under Section 3 of the Official Languages Act, 1963, provision has been made for the continued use of English, in addition to Hindi for the transaction of business in Parliament beyond 26th January, 1965.

With a view to enabling the members of Parliament who cannot express themselves in Hindi or English, particularly those hailing from southern States and for the convenience of other members, arrangements have been made in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha to provide simultaneous translation in Hindi and in English of speeches made in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Arrangements also exist for simultaneous translation of speeches made in English into Hindi and vice-versa.

(3) Language to be used in the Supreme Court and in the High Courts and for Acts, Bills, etc.

Article 348 (1) of Constitution prescribes inter alia that until Parliament by law otherwise provides, all proceedings in the Supreme Court and every High Court and the authoritative texts of all Central and State Acts, Bills, Ordinances and all orders, rules, regulations or by-laws issued under the Constitution or under any State or Central law shall be in the English language. Clause (2) of this Article, however, provides that with the previous consent of the President, the Governor of a State may authorise the use of Hindi, or any other lanuage used for any official purposes of the State, in proceedings in the High Court having its principal seat in that State except for judgement, decrees and orders for which English is to be used. Under clause (3) of this Article, it is open to the Legislature of a State to prescribe any language other than the English language for use in Bills or Acts, etc. subject to publication in the Official Gazette of a translation in English which shall be deemed to be the authoritative text thereof in the English language.

(4) Official Languages of States and for inter-State communication

Under Article 345 of the Constitution, the Legislature of a State may by law adopt any one or more of the languages in use in the State or Hindi as the language or languages to be used for all or any of the official purposes of that State.

Article 346 of the Constitution provides that the language for the time being authorised for use in the Union for official purposes shall be the official language for communication between one State and another State and between a State and the Union. Provided that if two or more-State agree that Hindi Language should be the official language for communication between such states that language may be used for such communication.

(5) Language to be used in representations for redress of grievances.

Article 350 provides that every person shall be entitled to submit a representation for the redress of any grievance to any officer or authority of Union or a State in any of the languages used in the Union or in the State, as the case may be.

2. WHEREAS the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution specifies 14 major languages of India besides Hindi, and it is necessary in the interest of the educational and cultural advancement of the country that concerted measures should be taken for the full development of these languages;

This House resolves that a programme shall be prepared and implemented by the Government of India, in collaboration with the State Governments for the coordinated development of all these languages, alongside Hindi, so that they grow rapidly in richness and become effective means of communicating modern knowledge.

3. WHEREAS it is necessary for promoting the sense of unity and facilitating communication between people in different parts of the country that effective steps should be taken for implementing fully in all States the three-language formula evolved by the Government of India in consultation with the State Governments.

This House resolves that arrangements should be made in accordance with that formula for the study of a modern Indian Language, preferably one of the southern languages, apart from Hindi and English in the Hindi-speaking areas, and of Hindi along with the regional languages and English in the non-Hindi speaking areas;

4. And whereas it is necessary to ensure that the just claims and interests of people belonging to different parts of the country in regard to the public services of the Union are fully safeguarded,

This House resolves—

(a) That compulsory knowledge of either Hindi or English shall be required at the stage of selection of candidates for recruitment to the Union services or posts except in respect of any special services or posts for which a high standard of knowledge of English alone or Hindi alone or both as the case may be, is considered essential for the satisfactory performance or the duties of any such service or posts; and

(b) That all the languages included in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution and English shall be permitted as alternative media for the All India and Higher Central Service examinations after ascertaining views of the Union Public Service Commission on the future scheme of the examinations, the procedural aspects and the timing."

ORDER

ORDERED that a copy of the Resolution be communicated to all State Governments/Union Territories and Ministries of the Government of India.
