Supreme Court to offer Hindi summaries, audio-video bulletins

On the occasion of Hindi Diwas, the Supreme Court on Monday announced that it would soon launch “Jan Soochna Seva”, a new public information service in Hindi, making justice more inclusive.

Under this service, simplified Hindi summaries of selected important judgments and orders, along with Hindi audio and video bulletins of 15 to 30 minutes, will be made available along with links of the judgments.

“This initiative is being launched for the convenience of ordinary citizens, litigants, and particularly persons with disabilities, to enable them to easily understand significant judgments, their implications, and subsequent proceedings in a language familiar to them,” read a statement issued by the top court.
