Hindi flunks in HC; law student’s plea dismissed

|September 27, 2025
The Bombay High Court has dismissed a petition filed by a 56-year-old law student challenging his college's refusal to evaluate his “Legal Language” paper written in Hindi.
The bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Anjhad observed that the subject was mandatorily required to be answered in English, as per Bar Council of India (BCI) rules and University of Mumbai circulars.
The petitioner, Akhil Kumar Jain, had enrolled in a three-year LL.B course at Children Welfare Centre's College of Law, Mumbai, after clearing the state Common Entrance Test last year. Jain had answered four of his first-semester subjects in Hindi and secured good marks, but the college withheld his result in “Legal Language’, insisting that it had to be attempted in English.
