Judge writes verdict in Telugu

VIJAYAWADA: Third additional senior civil judge GV Subrahmanyam has delivered judgment in a civil case in Telugu language for the first time in the history of Krishna district.

The court language has been English since Independence in the absence of any work on preparing legal terminology in Telugu language.

When a plaintiff filed a suit seeking recovery of amount by producing a promissory note, the defendant submitted his reply to the court in Telugu. The judge delivered his judgment in Telugu after hearing the arguments of both sides to make the judgment easily understandable to both the parties.

Several advocates opined that judgments in Telugu language would pave the way for bringing awareness among people on legal matters and Acts.
