Translation of constitution to foreign languages.

Brother Advocates,

Translation of constitution of India to foreign language amounts to infringement of copyrights?

Immediate reponse will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

@Querist,

 

I don't think 'Constitution of India' is a copy-righted document.

 

Reason- COI itself is reflection of various other constitution of the world viz. UK,USA,Australia..... and so on..

Therfore,it can be safely said that it's not the pure product/outcome of any intellectual realization of idea. Even these words/articles/clauses and so on can be used by other countries too.

 

Thus,In it's bare form,it can be translated to any language.


Note-This reply should be taken as per the declaration given in my profile page.

 

Thanks,

Regards,
