Presently , the Bombay High Court , established on 16 August 1862 , is located at Flora Fountain in Mumbai . Built in November 1878, this magnificent building was designed to house only 6 courts and ten judges.

Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra and it is at the forefront of industrial and economic development. With time, the need for such a building with the infrastructure of the Bombay High Court has arisen.

The new proposed complex will have various facilities like court rooms, hall for judges and registration staff , chambers for lawyers , auditorium , library, banking facilities , medical facilities , cafeteria , parking lot, museum. Also, the building will have all the facilities required for the disabled.

The new High Court Complex would be housed in Bandra, East. The land on which the new High Court Complex would come up is well located, with strategic proximity to both the island city and the suburbs, the Western Express Highway, and indeed, the bustling international commercial hub of Bandra-Kurla Complex. Possession of the 30.16-acre land area is scheduled to be handed over to the High Court in a phased manner. The first tranche of 4.39 acres of land has been handed over.

            Monday’s groundbreaking ceremony will mark the first step in the journey towards the commercial capital of the Republic of India having a world class court infrastructure that would be designed keeping in mind future needs of the High Court for effective justice delivery.

            The Bombay High Court exercises jurisdiction over the State of Maharashtra (through the Principal Seat in Mumbai and benches at Nagpur and Aurangabad) and the State of Goa. It also exercises jurisdiction over the Union Territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu. The High Court has a sanctioned strength of 94 judges with the current strength of 66 sitting judges.
