Advocate PV Jeevesh filed a PIL in the Kerala High Court urging the Central government to name three new criminal laws in English to alleviate confusion, especially in South India where Hindi is not the primary language. The PIL is rooted in the constitutional ethos of linguistic unity and federalism, confronting the legislative naming practice in Hindi and advocating for broader linguistic inclusivity. Jeevesh vehemently opposes the practice of naming laws in Hindi, denouncing it as an act of linguistic imperialism, and seeks broader judicial intervention, including a declaration affirming that Parliament lacks the authority to title any law in any language other than English.
