All 25 High Courts

About High Court Case Status

India has 25 High Courts, each with jurisdiction over one or more states and union territories. They serve as the highest court of appeal within their jurisdiction, hearing civil, criminal, and constitutional matters that escalate from District Courts.

Many High Courts have multiple benches in different cities. For example, the Bombay High Court has its principal seat in Mumbai with benches in Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Goa. Cases filed at any bench can be tracked using the same CNR number system.
