BNSS Section 307
Code:
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) – Section 307

This section grants the State Government the authority to decide the language used in courts within the state, excluding the High Court, for the purposes of the BNSS. This allows for flexibility in language use based on regional and linguistic variations.

The State Government, under Section 307, can declare Tamil as the language of all courts within the state, except the High Court, for the purposes of the BNSS. This would allow for legal proceedings, documents, and judgments to be primarily conducted in Tamil.
