The screenshot has text and image as follows: Before pronouncing the order, Justice Dixit said, “We in fact, want to set a new trend...If Kannada is not to die out, then Kannada should be recognised.” Then there is an image which shows the photographs of Justice Krishna Dixit and Justice CM Joshi of the Karnataka High Court and the photograph of the Karnataka High Court. Then again there is text as follows: Justice Joshi too chipped in and said, “We give all our judgments in English. If we do this, how will the common people understand? In England, court proceedings were conducted in Latin until 1730. Thereafter, a law was made that the orders and judgments of the English court should be given in the local language. Therefore, since 1730, proceedings in England have been conducted in English.”

The screenshot has text as follows: The Court also said that while Article 348(1)(a) of the Constitution mandated that all proceedings in the Supreme Court and in every High Court, shall be in English language, it did not say that they should be in “English only.” The Bench also revealed that it had written the same order twice, once in English and then in Kannada. “This is not a translation. We have written it in Kannada. Just like how poet Rabindranath Tagore used to write poems in Bengali and English,” the Bench said. With the consent of the Governor and the Chief Justice, regional languages too can be used in High Courts, the judges said. At the end of the pronouncement, Justice Joshi read out the operative part of the judgment in English.

The screenshot has text as follows: The advocates present in the Court lauded the judges’ initiative and said that even the common man will be able to understand its judgments. They expressed the hope that other judges of the High Court will be inspired to do the same. Justice Dixit then said, “We do not know about that, but we have done our part.” Back in 2008, Justice Arali Nagaraj had pronounced a verdict in Kannada.
