The Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur Bench, has held that the use of salutations and titles such as "Raja", "Nawab" and "Rajkumar" in constitutional courts, all other Courts, tribunals, public offices of the State, etc. is prohibited in terms of Articles 14, 18 and 363A of the Constitution of India. The court ordered that the said restriction will also apply in the public domain as well as public documents & public offices. Justice Sameer Jain, ruled, "In the light of above, this Court holds that in Constitutional Courts, all other Courts, Tribunals, public offices of the State, etc., the use of salutation and titles is prohibited in terms of Articles 14 18 and 363A of the Constitution of India. The said restriction will also apply in the public domain as well as public documents & public offices." The Court took up the issue on noticing that a respondent in the cause-title of a petition was addressed as "Raja Laxman Singh". The Court pursued Article 14, 18, and 363A of the Constitution of India and observed that any title awarded to the citizen of India by a Foreign State cannot be accepted nor used and no such title, other than the military or academic distinctions, can be conferred other than by the State. The Court also observed that in terms of Article 363A, the hereditary titles of nobility being in conflict with the principles of equality and contrary to Article 14 cannot be used as prefixes or suffixes. In this regard, the court also relied on the cases of Raghunathrao Ganpatrao v. Union of India: 1994 [(Suppl.) 1 SCC 191] and Balaji Raghavan vs. Union of India [AIR 1996 SC 770]
