Which is the oldest High Court in India?

Explanation / व्याख्या

The oldest High Court in India is the Calcutta High Court.
It was established in 1862 under the Indian High Courts Act, 1861.

Although the High Courts of Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras were all established in 1862, the Calcutta High Court started functioning first, making it the oldest.

भारत का सबसे पुराना उच्च न्यायालय (High Court) कलकत्ता उच्च न्यायालय है।
इसे 1862 में भारतीय उच्च न्यायालय अधिनियम, 1861 के तहत स्थापित किया गया था।

हालाँकि कलकत्ता, बॉम्बे और मद्रास उच्च न्यायालय तीनों 1862 में ही बने थे, लेकिन कलकत्ता उच्च न्यायालय पहले कार्यरत हुआ, इसलिए इसे सबसे पुराना माना जाता है।
