Chennai advocates demonstrated outside the Madras High Court yesterday, demanding a raising of the advocates’ welfare fund amount from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, reported the PTI, adding that the advocates also demanded for Tamil to be made an accepted court language in High Court proceedings. Earlier this year in June, Chennai lawyers went on a hunger strike to recognise Tamil as the court’s official language, according to the ANI. In an earlier Legally India column, advocate Elizabeth Seshadri argued against making languages other than English official court languages.
