150 years of establishment of the Allahabad High Court

 The Indian High Court Act 1861 provided for establishment of the Calcutta, Bombey
and Madras High Court. It also reserved power in Her Majesty Queen Victoria to constitute similar High Court in any other part of the country. The letters patent/Charter dated 17th March 1866 was issued constituting the High Court of Judicature for North Western Provinces which started functioning at Agra on 18th  June 1866. It shifted to Allahabad in 1869 and functioned in the building which now houses the Board of Revenue. On 27th November 1916, it was shifted to its present building. The name of the High Court was changed to High Court of Judicature at Allahabad by Supplementary Letters Patent dated 11th March 1919.
