Dear Friend you are just wasting your time on a silly matter. Spend some rupees and get that chalan translated into your own mother tongue which you have not specified clearly otherwise no law of the country will help you. For your information Supreme Court and High Courts in India have every order in English and only English, so just don't waste your time. Frankly speaking you are literate that is why you have been talking of language of your convenience, but have ever imagined about the poor illiterates who do not know any language but still they are surviving in India.
