The High Court of Orissa (commonly referred to as the Orissa High Court) is the principal High Court for the Indian state of Odisha. Established on 26 July 1948 under the Orissa High Court Order, 1948, the court is headquartered in the historic city of Cuttack. It functions as a court of record under the Constitution of India, exercising original, appellate, and writ jurisdiction over the entire territory of Odisha, as well as supervisory control over its subordinate district courts. Before its formal establishment, the territory of Odisha was judicially administered under the jurisdiction of the Calcutta High Court following the creation of the Bihar and Orissa Province in 1912. Jurisdiction was later transferred to the Patna High Court upon its formation on 9 February 1916, which subsequently established a permanent Circuit Court at Cuttack on 18 May 1916. Following Odisha's transition into a separate province on 1 April 1936, sustained local demand led the Government of India to issue the formal creation order on 30 April 1948 under Section 229(1) of the Government of India Act 1935. The court operates with a sanctioned strength of 33 judges, consisting of 24 permanent judges and 9 additional judges. More information...
