Petitioner vs Union of India — PIL seeking replacement of 'Central Government' with 'Union Government'

A person asked the court to force the government to stop using the term Central Government and use Union Government instead, arguing that the current name ignores the federal nature of the country. The Delhi High Court dismissed this request, stating that using the term Central Government does not violate the principles of federalism. This means the government can continue to use both terms interchangeably as it has done in the past.

The Delhi High Court has rejected a request to change the official term Central Government to Union Government in all legal documents. The person who filed the case argued that the term Union Government is more accurate according to the Constitution. However, the court decided that the current term is already widely used and legally acceptable. This means that government documents will continue to use the term Central Government as they have in the past.

A person has asked the Delhi High Court to order the government to stop using the term Central Government and use Union Government instead. The petitioner argues that the Constitution refers to the country as a Union of States, not a central authority. The court has now asked the government to provide its official response to this request. This is just the first step in the legal process, and no decision has been made yet.
