Additional Solicitor General AR.L. Sundaresan defended the decision to name three new criminal laws exclusively in English before the Madras High Court. The move, replacing traditional Indian language names with English titles, sparked controversy over constitutional provisions mandating multilingual legislative texts. Sundaresan argued that using English did not violate constitutional rights and reflected parliamentary will. He noted potential citizen challenges but emphasized adherence to legal norms. The court requested a formal response to a public interest litigation challenging the naming, adjourning further proceedings to July 23.
