“What is Your Problem with Urdu? Understand this-it is an 8th Schedule Language”: SC on Plea Objecting to Signboard

The Supreme Court Today (Aug 13) took exception to a petition seeking removal of an Urdu signboard of Patur Municipal Council. The signboard displayed the civic body’s name in Urdu along with Marathi. The Court said that Urdu is one of the languages in the eighth schedule of the Indian Constitution and one should not have problems with Urdu in signboards, particularly in areas where the same is a spoken language.
