High Court of Karnataka
HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA, BENGALURU
On the green, sprawling lawns of Cubbon Park is the Attara Kacheri, which is the home of the High Court of Karnataka. It is in the heart of the City of Bangalore (now Bengaluru), opposite Vidhana Soudha, which houses the State Legislature, and the Secretariat. The road in between the pillars of democracy is aptly named ‘Ambedkar Veedhi’ in honour of Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, clearly separating the Executive from the Judiciary.
Territorial Integration of Karnataka State:
A renowned American Judge and Jurist, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr’s reflection that the law is its own experience holds true for the institutions that uphold the law.
Any study of the judicial institutions in the State of Karnataka would have to bear in mind three distinct territorial jurisdictions – erstwhile Mysore State Bombay – Karnataka area, and Hyderabad – Karnataka area. Added to this, are the coastal areas of Karnataka [Mangaluru region] and Coorg (Kodagu) which were part of the erstwhile British India. On re-organization of Karnataka State all the distinct territorial jurisdictions were merged to form Mysore State, which was renamed as Karnataka on 1 November 1973.
