About High Court of Delhi
The High Court of Delhi was established on 31 October 1966 under the Delhi High Court Act, 1966, and sits at Sher Shah Road, New Delhi. Its territorial jurisdiction is the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
Unusually among Indian High Courts, Delhi exercises ordinary original civil jurisdiction: suits above the pecuniary limit set for the district courts (₹2 crore, after the 2015 amendment) are filed directly in the High Court as CS(OS) or, for commercial disputes, CS(COMM). Everything else — appeals, writs, bail, arbitration petitions — comes through its appellate and writ jurisdictions. Appeals from Delhi's seven district-court complexes (Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Karkardooma, Rohini, Saket, Dwarka and Rouse Avenue) also land here.
