Explanation:

The choice of the state for official language is not limited to the languages in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution only.
The official Language act also enables the governor of a state, with the previous consent of the president,to authorize the use of Hindi or any other official language of the state for judgments, decrees and orders passed by the high court of the state but they should be accompanied by an English translation.
In 1971, a petitioner insisted on arguing in Hindi a habeas corpus petition in the Supreme Court. But, the Court cancelled his petition on the ground that the language of the Court was English and allowing Hindi would be unconstitutional.
