The Supreme Court of India’s monumental project of translating all of its 36,000 judgments into Scheduled Languages achieved unprecedented speed in 2023, with the E-SCR portal starting with just 2,238 translated judgments as of January and ending the year with over 31,000 rulings translated.
Currently, the highest number of translated judgments are in Hindi at 22,396, followed by Punjabi (3,572), Kannada (1,899), Tamil (1,172), and Gujarati (1,112).
Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud in his Republic Day speech had said that the Supreme Court was on a mission to provide SC judgments in all Scheduled Languages - a project that started under the tenure of CJI Ranjan Gogoi in mid-2019 and taken forward by his successors.
