நீதியரசர் ஏ.ஆர். லட்சுமணன் மறைவெய்தினார் என்ற செய்தியறிந்து சொல்லொணாத் துயரடைந்தேன்! உச்சநீதிமன்றத்தில் இந்தியைக் கட்டாயமாக்கக் கூடாது என்பது...

DMK president M.K. Stalin expressed deep grief and heartfelt sorrow upon learning of the passing of former Supreme Court Justice and former Law Commission Chairman Dr. A.R. Lakshmanan. Stalin described the late jurist as an eminent legal luminary whose profound intellect, unwavering judicial integrity, and progressive constitutional interpretations left an indelible mark on Indian jurisprudence throughout his distinguished career across the High Courts and the Supreme Court of India.

Stalin highlighted Justice Lakshmanan's remarkable courage in authoring epochal judicial recommendations, notably his principled stance during his tenure as Law Commission Chairman advising that Hindi should never be made compulsory in the Supreme Court and High Courts. By staunchly advocating that English and regional languages must maintain their rightful place in higher judiciary proceedings, Justice Lakshmanan protected the linguistic dignity and professional standing of lawyers and litigants from non-Hindi states. His progressive verdicts consistently advanced constitutional fairness, social harmony, and institutional balance.

Extending sincere condolences to the bereaved family members, colleagues, and members of the legal fraternity, Stalin affirmed that Justice Lakshmanan's exemplary judicial contributions and dedication to linguistic equality will be remembered with enduring reverence across Tamil Nadu.
