“We in the Indian government are thinking that law should be produced in two ways. One draft will be in the language you are used to… The second draft will be in a language which the country’s common man can understand. He should consider the law his own,” the prime minister said.

Prime Minister Modi also congratulated the Supreme Court for providing the operative parts of its judgments in several regional languages. “I congratulate the Supreme Court of Bharat for providing operative parts of the judgements in the litigant’s language…,” PM Modi said.

The prime minister also reiterated his government’s ambition of making India a developed country by 2047 and highlighted the importance of independent judiciary in achieving that goal.

“We are working towards becoming a developed (nation) by 2047. For this, an unbiased, strong, and independent judiciary is needed… I am hoping that through this conference, we can all learn from each other,” he added.
