Establishment of the Agra High Court (1866)

The High Court of Judicature for the North-Western Provinces was established at Agra in 1866, replacing the Sadr Diwani Adalat. The supplied passage records the founding date as 17 March 1866, while the legacy row records 11 June 1866; this discrepancy is unresolved in the evidence.

Episodes

Background and detail

Background. A High Court was established in 1834 but was shifted to Agra within a year, and Allahabad became the seat of Government of North-Western Provinces. The new court at Agra was founded under the Indian High Courts Act 1861, replacing the old Sadr Diwani Adalat.

Establishment. The High Court of Judicature for the North-Western Provinces was founded at Agra on 17 March 1866. This establishment replaced the previous Sadr Diwani Adalat. The court's creation in Agra is a distinct historical event from the later Allahabad High Court, which is based in Prayagraj.

Legacy Correction. The legacy row claims the court was established on 11 June 1866. However, the supplied passages state the establishment date was 17 March 1866. The legacy note regarding a shift to Allahabad is a post-1866 development not supported by the specific passages for the Agra establishment event.
