Language of Courts

State Government decides which language each court in the State (except the High Court) will use for purposes of this Code. That choice governs proceedings, records and orders under the Code. Courts must follow the language so prescribed.

Priya files an FIR and her case goes to the local magistrate's court. Because the State Government has fixed Hindi as the language for that court under the Code, the hearings, records and orders will be in Hindi.
