The work of most supreme courts consists mainly of appeals by lower courts and written petitions within the meaning of articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution. Jurisdiction is also jurisdiction in the first instance of a High Court. Below are the 25 High Courts of India, sorted by name, year of constitution, law by which it was established, jurisdiction, seat (seat), permanent benches (subordinate to the seat), circular benches (functional a few days a month/year), the maximum number of judges sanctioned and the Chief Justice of the High Court. Each state is divided into judicial districts, which are headed by a district judge and a session judge. He is known as a district judge when he presides over a civil case and a session judge when he presides over a criminal case. He is the highest judicial authority below a Supreme Court justice. Under it, there are courts of civil jurisdiction, which are known by different names in different states. According to Article 141 of the Constitution, all Indian courts – including the Supreme Courts – are bound by the judgments and orders of the Supreme Court of India. Barnes Peacock was the first Chief Justice of the High Court. He took over this task when the court was established on July 1, 1862. Romesh Chandra Mitter was India`s first acting Chief Justice and Phani Bhushan Chakravartti was India`s first permanent Chief Justice of the court. The longest-serving Chief Justice was Sankar Prasad Mitra. The Calcutta High Court is the oldest High Court in the country and was established on 2 July 1862.
The high courts, which deal with many cases in a given region, have permanent judges there. Benches also exist in States that fall under the jurisdiction of a court outside its territorial boundaries. Small states with few cases may have set up circular benches. Circuit benches (known as circuit courts in some parts of the world) are temporary courts that hold proceedings for a select few months of the year. Thus, cases established during this transitional period will be examined at the session of the District Court. According to a study conducted by the Bangalore-based NGO Daksh among 21 Supreme Courts in collaboration with the Ministry of Law and Justice in March 2015, it was found that the average length of a case before the Supreme Courts in India is 3 years. [2] The Calcutta High Court is the oldest High Court in India. It has jurisdiction over the state of West Bengal and the Union territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The Calcutta High Court is one of the three high courts of India granted by Her Majesty Queen Victoria on 26 June 1862.

However, Granville also listed features of the 19th century Gothic Revival architectural style. This gave the building a unique presence. Judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President of India in consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the State under Article 217 of the Constitution, but subsequent judicial interpretations suggest that the primacy of the appointment process rests with the Judicial College. The Supreme Courts are headed by a Chief Justice.
Chief Justices rank fourteenth (in their respective states) and seventeenth (outside their respective states) in the Indian hierarchy. The number of judges in a court is determined by dividing the average number of cases commenced over the past five years by the national average or the average rate of dismissal of cases per judge per year in that high court, whichever is higher. The High Courts of India are the highest courts of appeal of each state and territory of the Union of India. However, a High Court exercises its original civil and criminal jurisdiction only if the lower courts do not have the statutory power to hear such cases because of the lack of financial territorial jurisdiction. Supreme courts may also have jurisdiction in the first instance in certain matters if the Constitution, a state law or a trade union law provide for it separately.[1] A central tower rises above the main entrance of the red building, while a series of arches and columns (carved capitals) adorn the façade. The sculptures on the columns, according to the architects, are a fascinating study in terms of symbolism. The building is a closed quadrilateral with an open space in the middle. Around the four arms of the building are the main courthouse, courtrooms, administrative offices, lawyers` library, etc. Long vaulted corridors connect the building. The neo-Gothic High Court building was built in 1872, ten years after the establishment of the court.
