Lucknow, July 13 (HS). Chief Justice of India Dr. DY Chandrachud on Saturday stressed on teaching law in regional languages at the convocation ceremony of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University in Lucknow. He said that I often discuss with various educationists of the country about how law can be taught in simple language. If we are not able to explain the principles of law to the common people in simple language, then there is a lack of legal profession and legal education in this.
Dr. DY Chandrachud said that we should also keep regional languages in mind while teaching law. RM NLU should definitely start LLB course in Hindi. Laws related to regional issues should also be taught in our universities. He said that suppose if a person comes from a village in the neighbourhood of your university, to the university, to the university's legal aid centre and tells about his land related problem, but if the student does not know the meaning of Khasra and Khatauni, then how will the student be able to help that person. Therefore, the student should also be made aware of the regional laws related to land.
In his address, he also said that as the Chief Justice of India, he has given many such instructions so that the process of justice can be made easier for the common people. For example, the decisions given by the Supreme Court in English are being translated into various languages prevalent in the Constitution of India, so that the common people can also understand what is written in the decision. Today, there are 37000 decisions of the Supreme Court from 1950 to 2024, which have been translated into Hindi and this service is free for all citizens.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court Justice Arun Bhansali, Vice Chancellor of the University Prof. Amarpal Singh, Head of Department of Law Prof. Aditya Pratap Singh, Uttar Pradesh Higher Education Minister Yogendra Upadhyay, Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh and several Justices of Allahabad High Court were present at the convocation ceremony.
