Calcutta High Court, High court building in Kolkata, India
The court occupies a neo-Gothic structure with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, designed by Walter Long Bozzi Granville in 1872.
Established on July 1, 1862, through Letters Patent by Queen Victoria, this institution stands as the oldest High Court in India and serves West Bengal.
The court building reflects British colonial architectural influence, incorporating Belgian design elements from the Cloth Hall of Ypres into Indian judicial spaces.
Located at 3 Esplanade Row West, the court maintains jurisdiction over West Bengal and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands with 98 sanctioned judge positions.
Despite Calcutta's official renaming to Kolkata in 2001, this judicial institution continues to retain its colonial-era designation in official documentation.
