Sections 4-A and 4-B of the Act provided for the use of Tamil in recording evidence and issuing judgments, decrees and orders in subordinate courts, tribunals and other courts functioning under the high court.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The assembly recalled that it had unanimously passed a resolution on Dec 6, 2006, seeking the use of Tamil in the Madras high court and forwarded it to the Centre. The Union law minister informed the Rajya Sabha in 2018 that the proposal had been referred to the Chief Justice of India and that the Supreme Court\u2019s full court had not accepted it.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The latest resolution said advances in legal Tamil, translation services, digital courts, legal databases and artificial intelligence had strengthened the case for reconsidering the proposal. It called for procedures to allow petitions, documents and arguments in Tamil and for judgments and court orders to be issued in Tamil.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>It also sought training in legal Tamil and translation for judges, lawyers and court staff.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Members from the DMK, AIADMK, PMK, CPI, CPM, BJP and DMDK supported the resolution. Speaker JCD Prabhakar announced that it had been passed unanimously.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
