Role you're checking

Court Interpreter

Service

Court Interpreters in India render consecutive interpretation between Hindi or English and a regional or foreign language inside District Courts, High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India, and translate legal instruments — affidavits, FIRs, plaints, chargesheet exhibits, judgments — with oath-bound fidelity. The role exists at three tiers: government-cadre Official Language Officers and empanelled interpreters appointed by the court administration (typically for regional languages like Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Odia, Bangla, and Urdu), HC-empanelled freelancers engaged per hearing, and NGO-attached interpreters serving migrant labourers, trafficking survivors, and linguistic minorities in district courts. Section 318 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023 — successor to CrPC Section 277 — mandates that when a witness or accused cannot understand the court's language, the judge must appoint an interpreter who takes a prescribed oath of faithful and truthful interpretation. Violations of this oath carry perjury exposure under BNS. The Supreme Court maintains its own pool of translators for 22 scheduled languages; the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) runs a parallel interpreter registry for legal aid beneficiaries. Entry into district-court work is low-barrier (language degree + court empanelment test); SC and HC pools are highly competitive and relationship-gated.
