While dismissing the petition of accepting Sanskrit as the national language, the court said that it is a policy decision, which requires amendment to be done in the Constitution of India. During the hearing of the PIL, the court asked the petitioner to recite a line in Sanskrit and said, when you can&#8217;t even recite a line in Sanskrit how can you demand for Sanskrit to be recognized as national language. The petition was filed in the court on behalf of retired bureaucrat DG Vanzara. He talked about the promotion of the language through the declaration of Sanskrit as the national language.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-153459\" src=\"https:\/\/caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-3.png 665w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-3-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-3-450x321.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On this, the bench of Justice MR Shah and Justice Krishna Murari said that this policy comes within the purview of the decision. This would also require an amendment to the Constitution of India and simply a writ cannot be issued to the Parliament to declare a language as the national language. The declaration of national language is not a simple process instead a long one that needs multiple stages to be passed.
