The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court has said there was no restriction on putting up signboards for municipal councils in any language along with the state`s official language Marathi.
A division bench of Justices Avinash Gharote and M S Jawalkar on April 10 dismissed a petition seeking the removal of a signboard of the Patur Municipal Council displaying the civic body`s name in Urdu along with Marathi. "There is no prohibition on the use of any language, in addition to the official language," the court held.
The petition filed by one Varsha Bagde sought the court`s direction to the chairman of the Akola District Marathi Language Committee to take immediate action against the use of Urdu on the signboard of the Patur Municipal Council.
