The contention of the petitioner is that in the proceedings which are pending against him before the J.M.F.C.Sawantwadi wherein he is fighting his own case without engaging advocate in the said proceedings, the evidence should be recorded only in Marathi and not in English. In fact, he has signed this petition in English. He is holder of licence of gun. Therefore, there is no substance - 2 - in this petition and his prayer that evidence should be recorded only in Marathi, cannot be entertained. He can engage advocate or he should keep somebody present in the Court while recording of the evidence who understands English. Rules cannot be changed for one person. Hence, there is no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed. [D.G.DESHPANDE, J.] [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.]
