The Bombay High Court has allowed a litigant to depose in Tamil during recording of evidence in a court as she understands only that language and was not conversant with Hindi.
The court also ordered appointment of an interpreter to offer help to the litigant while deposing in Tamil. Hearing an application filed by Koothayee Adimulam Harijan, a complainant in a case, Justice RP Sondurbaldota Wednesday set aside a lower court order of February 28, 2013, which had rejected the applicant's plea for deposing in Tamil and seeking permission to appoint an interpreter.u00a0
The sessions court in suburban Dindoshi should have allowed the application of the applicant and appointed an interpreter knowing Tamil language, said the High Court judge.
