About High Court of Bombay
The High Court of Bombay is one of the three chartered High Courts set up under the Indian High Courts Act, 1861, and began functioning in August 1862. Its principal seat is at Fort, Mumbai. It has jurisdiction over Maharashtra, Goa, and the Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.
The Court sits at Nagpur and Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) through permanent benches, at Panaji for Goa, and a circuit bench at Kolhapur. Each bench maintains its own registry and case numbering, which is why they are listed as separate courts here. Like Delhi and Calcutta, Bombay has an original side in Mumbai for civil suits above the pecuniary limit of the City Civil Court, alongside its appellate and writ work.
