people in India.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The resolution recalls that Tamil was recognised as a Classical Language by the Union Government on 12 October 2004 in recognition of its antiquity, literary tradition, inscriptions and historical evidence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>It further notes that the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly had unanimously passed a resolution on 6 December 2006 seeking the use of Tamil in the High Court of Madras and forwarded the proposal to the Union Government.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The resolution records that the then Union Law Minister informed the Rajya Sabha on 2 February 2018 that the proposal had been referred for the views of the Chief Justice of India and that the Full Court of the Supreme Court had not agreed to the proposal, as communicated through a letter dated 16 October 2012.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>According to the Assembly, substantial progress has since been made in the development of legal Tamil, translation systems, e-Courts infrastructure, technology-enabled translation and legal databases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The resolution also highlights advancements in Artificial Intelligence technologies, stating that Tamil speech can now be simultaneously rendered and heard in English, thereby facilitating multilingual judicial processes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The Assembly has urged the Union Government to recognise Tamil as the principal language of the High Court of Madras and to establish appropriate procedures for petitions, documents and arguments filed or presented in Tamil.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>It has further sought the creation of a framework under which all <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">judgments, decrees and judicial orders of the High Court<\/span> are made available in Tamil.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The resolution calls for training in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">legal Tamil<\/span> and translation for judges, advocates and court personnel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly unanimously urged the Union Government to take immediate legal and administrative
