  "summary": "Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay has moved a government resolution urging the Union government and the President to clear the use of Tamil as the primary language of the Madras High Court, alongside English. This proposal, which was endorsed by the House 20 years ago, seeks procedures allowing petitions, documents and arguments to be submitted in Tamil, and training in legal Tamil and translation for judges, advocates and court employees. Vijay argues that Tamil should be given the constitutional opportunity to which it is entitled, emphasizing that the language of justice must be one that the people can understand.",
