Advocate Ripudaman Singh for the petitioners contended that the judgment was not applicable to this case. He claimed that the Central government’s policy also was in his favour and that the issue was pending for more than 70 years.
The Court said that since the policy of the Union was in the petitioner’s favour, it could not pass directions. Further, it emphasized that there might be other languages with similar claims and maintained that certain decisions, particularly those related to the democratic polity, should be made by the executive branch.
Accordingly, the Court dismissed the plea.
