    The Calcutta high Court is one of the three High Courts in India established at the Presidency Towns by Letters patent granted by Her Majesty Queen Victoria, bearing date June 26, 1862, and is the oldest High Court in India. It was established as the High Court of Judicature at Fort William on July 1, 1862 under the High Courts Act, 1861, which was preceded by the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William. Despite the name of the city having officially changed from Calcutta to Kolkata in 2001, the Court, as an institution retained the old name. The bill to rename it as Kolkata High Court was approved by the Cabinet on July 5, 2016 alongside renaming of its two other counterparts in Chennai and Mumbai However, the High Court still retains the old name.

    Everything is open and normal except crackers. If corona is one of the reason than why released night curfews at durgapuja? Who gave permission to visit inside pandal ? Apart from that why allow to enjoy kali pujo, chot puja at night? I think crackers ban is somebody personal reason. I think case petetioner never visit Belghoria expressway, Kolkata EM Bypass. There situation is terrible, garbage dump is always fire up and generating tremendous smoke but fortunately Corona only increses firecrackers smock only.

    Something interesting i noticed today at the Calcuta High Court is a mobile person carrying a bag with pressure check ups and blood sugar tests. Such important and crucial decisions are made so one may need a check up.

    It was established on July 1st 1862 under the High Court’s Act, 1861. Calcutta High Court is the oldest and most prestigious high court in India. I visited the place very recently but they did not allow us to go inside unless you are an employee or have some case. I was completely awed by the architecture of the building but it is going under renovation these days. It is expected to be finished by next year. It’s one of the best places to visit in Kolkata. The whole area is an old Kolkata and you will witness many old architecture.

    I work here as a Court Employee, since 2011. There are 5 High Court Buildings and all are situated in the Esplanade area. The Main Building is a Heritage Building. It's a Neo Gothic structure, one will find the same kind of building in Ypress Hall, Belgium. No photography allowed inside the heritage building. It's a no smoking zone. Outsiders will have to take permission from the Kolkata Police at Gate E of the Main Building, if they wish to visit Calcutta High Court.

    Barring a few most of the court rooms are small and there is no place for junior advocates and interns to sit. Even clean drinking water is not available inside the High Court premises. There are only 2 lifts which are always over crowded. It is very difficult to get parking space for litigants and advocates. Basically it is an outdated building lacking basic amenities.

The Kolkata High Court, exercising original jurisdiction over the city and appellate jurisdiction over West Bengal, is also located there. A number of national government institutions—including the National Library, the Indian Museum, and the Geological Survey of India—are in the city as well.

    The Calcutta High Court is located in B.B.D. Bagh area of Kolkata. It is the oldest High Court in India. At present it has jurisdiction over the state of West Bengal and the Union Territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The High Court building's design is based on the Cloth Hall of Belgium. It is a beautiful edifice and one of the popular tourist attractions in Kolkata.

    The Calcutta High Court is one of the three High Courts in India established at the Presidency Towns by Letters patent granted by Queen Victoria, bearing date 26 June 1862, and is the oldest High Court in India. It was established as the High Court of Judicature at Fort William on 1 July 1862 under the High Courts Act, 1861, which was preceded by the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William.Despite the name of the city having officially changed from Calcutta to Kolkata in 2001, the Court, as an institution retained the old name. The bill to rename it as Kolkata High Court was approved by the Union Cabinet on 5 July 2016 along with the renaming of its two other counterparts in Chennai and Mumbai.The Bill called High Courts (Alternation of Names) Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 19 July 2016 and is yet to be passed by both Houses of Parliament. Hence, the High Court still retains the old name.
