'Kesavananda Bharati judgment' video accessible in 10 Indian languages
The Daily Guardian
|December 08, 2023
The Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on Thursday announced that the video of the Kesavananda Bharati judgment, marking the 50th anniversary of the pivotal case, is now accessible in 10 Indian languages on the Supreme Court’s website.
CJI stressed the significance of overcoming language barriers to broaden access to the court’s proceedings for a more extensive segment of society. He asserted, “Language barriers prevent people from truly understanding the work of the court,” underscoring the importance of translating legal content into regional languages.
On the 50th anniversary of the landmark judicial pronouncement in the Kesavananda Bharati case, the Supreme Court had unveiled a video dedicated to the historic 1973 Fundamental Rights case.
The video provides viewers with details about the case background, key legal issues, the judges on the bench, the advocates involved, arguments presented, and the conclusions drawn.
“We had created a webpage for the judgment to mark the 50 years of Kesavananda Bharati.
To reach out to a wider section of our society, I thought we could translate it into Indian languages," remarked the CJI.
The video has been translated into ten Indian languages, namely English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Odia, Malayalam, Gujarati, Kannada, Bengali, Assamese, and Marathi.
