I Under Article 348, the Constitution make a special provision for the retention of the English language if Parliament so decides even after the fifteen-year period for the following purposes:-

(1) All proceedings in the Supreme Court and the High Courts.

(2) Authoritative texts of Bills, Acts, Ordinances, Orders, Rules, Regulations and Bye-laws issued under the Constitution or under any law.

However, Parliament is empowered to stop the use of English even in the courts whenever it likes, once the fifteen-year period is over. It is also provided that Hindi or any regional language may be used even earlier for conducting the proceedings in a High Court if the President gives his consent for the measure.
