The Bombay High Court was established by Royal Charter, making it one of the three original High Courts created under the British colonial administration. Its enduring presence in Mumbai and circuit benches in Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Panaji highlight its significant role in regional and national legal matters. Designed by British engineer Colonel James A. Fuller, the Courtโs Gothic Revival building, completed in 1878, stands as a magnificent example of 19th-century architecture and a symbol of Mumbaiโs rich heritage.
