President Ram Nath Kovind Monday said he was "glad" that the Supreme Court has initiated the process of providing the certified translated copies of court judgements to the litigants in Hindi.
Kovind said that some high courts across the country were also issuing certified translated copies in local languages to the litigants.
"One year ago, I made a suggestion on this very platform to facilitate certified translated copies of court judgements in regional languages. This would help litigants who were not familiar with the English language," the President said while addressing the inaugural function of 'Constitution Day Celebrations' held here.
"I am glad that the Supreme Court, led by the Chief Justice of India very shortly after he took office, has initiated the process for certified translated copies in Hindi. Some high courts are also issuing certified translated copies in local languages," Kovind said.
The President said that by Constitution Day 2019, "I look forward to all high courts, across the country, implementing this practice. It will serve to widen the boundaries of justice."
