Prime Minister Narendra Modi had supported the demand for making Tamil as the official language of the Madras High Court when he served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2013, said Justice G. Jayachandran of the Madras High Court on Friday.
He said so, while felicitating Bombay High Court retired judge Mridula Bhatkar on the release of a Tamil translation of her English book titled ‘I must say this’ in which she had narrated the travails faced by her during her tenure in the judiciary.
The book translated jointly by former Madras High Court judge P.N. Prakash and visually challenged Senior Civil Judge T.D. Chakravarthi, and published by the Alliance Publishing House, was released at the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry auditorium (BCTNP) in Chennai.
