Question

During whose tenure was the high court established at calcutta, madras and bombay?

Answer 1

Queen Victoria created the High Courts in Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay by Letters Patent in 1862. It was a glorious day for India.

The Indian High Courts Act of 1861  was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to authorize the Crown to create High Courts in the Indian colony.

Sir Barnes Peacock was the first Chief Justice of the High Court and he did a great job. He assumed the charge when the court was founded on 1 July 1862. Justice Romesh Chandra Mitra was the first Indian officiating Chief Justice and Justice Phani Bhushan Chakravartti was the first Indian permanent Chief Justice of the court.
