The EU countries have a functional decentralized judiciary that effectively and rapidly resolves disputes and ensures the writ of law. So they can have massive language overhead at the top and deliberate on the tricky cases.
In India, we only have the pretense of Justice.

Until the judiciary is decolonized and forced into Indian languages, we cannot reform our country. Forget about developing a state superstructure in Jambūdvīpa. The English case law is a serious liability. The Judiciary is the most colonized institution in India.
The alternatives are staring at us in the face. Historically and traditionally, we had decentralized and democratized dispute resolution systems - the Panchāyats. We must revive them. We must ban the use of English in courts. The judicial College must be junked.
Ultimately, the constitution of India must be rewritten with the primary text in Indian languages. This text must be put to democratic voting and approved. English must only remain as an adjunct, not as the language of transaction.
Indian state apparatus should get streamlined.

Ultimately, we will develop a functional multilingual legal apparatus like in the EU. My guess is that it will be better and more precise, because of our historical superiority in linguistics and logic. We have a long Sanskrit tradition. But this development will take some time.
