Bangalore High Court
Bangalore is the capital city of the Indian state of Karnataka. It has many natural and historic landmarks that contribute to the cultural heritage of the region. Tourists are attracted to many areas of India, and Bangalore is one of the top choices to visit. There are many entertainment and great dining options to compliment the luxury accommodations provided by the top hotels. Dinner in one of the many fine Bangalore restaurants is a standard beginning to a great evening in this city.
One of the major landmarks in Bangalore is also a prime functional building. The Karnataka High Court is located in its capital city next to the seat of its legislature, which is housed in Vidhana Soudha. The High court itself is situated in a red brick building known as Attara Kacheri. It is two stories high and was designed in the neo-classical style. Its construction was completed in 1868, under the supervision of Rao Bahadur Arcot Narayanswamy Mudaliar. It is interesting to note that there was an effort in 1982 to destroy the building, though it was preserved due to an instance on its ancient relevance.
The history of the High Court itself can be traced back to 1884. In this year the Chief Court of Mysore was established with three judges. It was declared to be the highest court of appeals. While there were various district courts and justices at the time, the establishment of the chief justice left the final word to the High Court. It was renamed the High Court of Mysore in 1930 and in 1973 it was given its present name, the High Court of Karnataka. The building is very attractive and inviting and often tourists who wish to experience more than simple entertainment aspects of Bangalore chose to explore this and other landmarks.
