Article 348(1) of the Constitution of India mandates that, unless Parliament by law otherwise provides, all proceedings in the Supreme Court and in every High Court shall be in the English language.
This article establishes English as the primary language for proceedings in the higher judiciary.
While Parliament has the power to change this by law, and some exceptions or alternatives exist for High Courts (with Presidential consent), Article 348 currently prescribes English for the Supreme Court.
