Published: Mar 17 2025, 9 pmeznews.inThe Delhi High Court has urged the Indian government to swiftly adhere to a Supreme Court directive regarding a proposal to amend the Constitution, replacing the name "India" with "Bharat" or "Hindustan." Justice Sachin Datta permitted the petitioner, Namaha, to withdraw his petition while seeking a resolution from the relevant ministries, following the Supreme Court's 2020 ruling that treated the petition as a representation.
