This part of the constitution consists of Articles on Official Language.{{Sfn|Constitution of India|2007|pp=212–217}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter I -  Official Language of the Union==&lt;br /&gt;
{{see also | Names of India in its official languages }}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It also places a responsibility on the [[President of India]] to support the implementation and progressive use of Hindi, rather than English, as the official language of India, as well gives the power of imposing restrictions on the usage of English for official purposes in India. The President of India is also given a time of fifteen years, from the time of the establishing of the Constitution, to phase out English in favor of Hindi, a right yet to be exercised. The chapter also writes that [[Official Languages Commission|a committee consisting of 30 people]] - 20 from the [[Lok Sabha]] (lower house) and 10 from the [[Rajya Sabha]] (upper house) should be formed ensuring that the previously mentioned responsibilities are carried out by the President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter III - Language of the Supreme Court, High Courts, etc.==&lt;br /&gt;
Chapter 3 covers articles 348 and 349, and writes that the official language of the [[Supreme Court of India]], the [[List of High Courts of India|High Courts of India]] as well as any authoritative legal texts should be English. It also acknowledges that the Governor of a State may, if authorized by the President, authorize the usage of Hindi in the previous situations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article 348.(2):&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|(2) Notwithstanding anything in sub-clause (a) of clause (1), the Governor ¹*** of a State may, with the previous consent of the President, authorise the use of the Hindi language, or any other language used for any official purposes of the State, in proceedings in the High Court having its principal seat in that State:&lt;br /&gt;
