Delhi High Court considers petition to replace 'India' with 'Bharat' or 'Hindustan' in Constitution, citing cultural significance.
New Delhi
The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre to treat as representational a petition for amending the Constitution and replacing the word India with ‘Bharat’ or ‘Hindustan’.
The petitioner Mr Namaha, a Delhi-resident, had initially moved the Supreme Court, which in 2020, directed the petition be treated as a representation that could be considered by appropriate ministries.
The petitioner then moved the high court early this year for a direction to the authorities to decide his representation.
Justice Sachin Datta, in an order passed on March 12, recorded that the petitioner seeks to withdraw the present petition to pursue the matter with the ministries concerned for disposal of the petitioner’s representation in terms of the June 3, 2020 order passed by the Supreme Court.
The judge asked the Centre’s counsel to appropriately convey to the ministries concerned for expeditious compliance of the order passed by the Supreme Court.
The pleas said, “The petitioner is left with no option but to approach this court, by way of the present petition as there is no update from the respondents about any decision taken on the representation of the petitioner”.
