💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 348 of the Indian Constitution mandates that all proceedings in the Supreme Court and every High Court must be conducted in the English language unless Parliament enacts legislation or the Governor of a state authorizes Hindi or regional official languages with presidential consent. Other articles listed pertain to official languages of the Union, regional languages, or directives for development, rather than superior court proceedings. Authorized translations of acts and bills must also be published in English under the same constitutional provisions.
