Allahabad High Court

Allahabad High Court

The Allahabad High Court ( _hi. इलाहाबाद उच्च न्यायालय) is a high court having jurisdiction over the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh since 1950. It was one of the first high courts to be established in India.

History

It was originally founded as the High Court of Judicature for the North-Western Provinces at Agra on March 17, 1866 by the High Courts Act of 1861 replacing the "Sudder Diwanny Adawlat". Sir Walter Morgan, Barrister-at-Law was appointed the first Chief Justice of the High Court of North-Western Provinces.

The location was shifted to Allahabad in 1869 and the name was correspondingly changed to High Court of Judicature at Allahabad.

On November 2, 1925, the Oudh Judicial Commissioner's Court was replaced by the Oudh Chief Court at Lucknow by the Oudh Civil Courts Act of 1925 enacted by the U.P. Legislature with the sanction of the Governor General.

In 1948, the Chief Court of Oudh was amalgamated with the High Court of Allahabad.

When the state of Uttaranchal was carved out of Uttar Pradesh in 2000, this high court ceased to have jurisdiction over the districts falling in Uttaranchal.

Present

A bench of the court is present in Lucknow, the administrative capital of the state.

Its maximum number of sanctioned judges is 95, the highest in India.
