The Supreme Court of India is the highest court in the land, and people can ask it for help when they face big problems. This article explains a simple request, called an “Application for Exemption from Filing Official Translation of Annexures,” made to the Supreme Court. It’s part of a bigger case called a Writ Petition under Article 32 of the Constitution. Let’s break it down in easy English.

What is This Request About?

Some people (called “petitioners”) filed a Writ Petition in the Supreme Court. A Writ Petition is a way to ask the court to protect their rights. Along with their petition, they included extra documents, called “Annexures” (like P-1 and others), to support their case.

These annexures are important because they give more details about their problem.

Some of these documents, like Annexure P-1, were originally written in Hindi. The Supreme Court usually needs official English translations of such papers, done by a certified translator. But the petitioners couldn’t get an official translation in time because their case is urgent. Instead, a lawyer who knows both Hindi and English translated the documents.

The petitioners say these translations are correct and are asking the court to accept them without an official version.

Why Did They Make This Request?

The petitioners say their case is important and needs to be solved quickly. Getting an official translation takes time, and they didn’t want to delay things. They promise their lawyer’s translations are true and accurate. They’re asking the court to excuse them from the usual rule about official translations because they’re being honest and want justice.

What Are They Asking For?

The petitioners want two things from the Supreme Court:

1. Permission to use their lawyer’s English translations for Annexure P-1 and other Hindi documents, instead of official ones.
2. Any other help or decisions the court thinks are fair for their situation.

They’ve already explained their full story in the Writ Petition and a “List of Dates,” and they’re ready to talk about it in court if needed.

Why Does This Matter?

This request shows how legal cases in the Supreme Court work. Sometimes, people need to attach documents to prove their point, but those papers might be in a language like Hindi. The court usually wants official translations, but in urgent cases, people can ask for exceptions. This helps the court decide cases faster while still being fair.
