Assembly passes Tamil-in-High-Court resolution

The Indian Express reported that the Tamil Nadu Assembly unanimously adopted a government resolution moved by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay seeking recognition of Tamil as a principal language of the Madras High Court alongside English. The proposal relies on Article 348(2) of the Constitution and Section 7 of the Official Languages Act, 1963, so the state resolution is not the final step by itself. Approval still depends on the Centre, presidential consent, judicial consultation, translation systems, procedural rules, and court-administration readiness. TVK Tracker records this as a state-rights and Tamil-language access update because it could affect how petitions, documents, arguments, and court orders are handled. The next public checks are the transmitted resolution, Union response, Supreme Court position, High Court rule changes, translation safeguards, and whether litigants actually receive a clearer path to use Tamil in legal proceedings.
