Bombay High Court is located in the Fort Area of South Mumbai. Opened on 14 August, 1862, Bombay High Court is counted among the chartered and the oldest high courts in the country. The current structure of High Court was constructed during 1871-1878.
Bombay High Court was designed by a British engineer, Col. J.A. Fuller. The court building stands as a masterpiece of Gothic styled architecture. Nestled in Mumbai’s Fort area, the High Court offers a wonderful structure, including 
octagonal towers and black stone.
Maharashtra, Daman and Diu and Goa come under jurisdiction of the High Court of Mumbai. Apart from the Bombay Bench, the High Court includes its benches at places like Panaji, Nagpur and Aurangabad as well. With authorized strength of over sixty four judges, the High Court of Mumbai handles more than 3.4 million of cases per year, including both criminal and civil ones.
Set in the periphery of the Mumbai’s Fort area, the High Court stands as a compellingly enchanting structure which is the major attraction of this landmark. The statues of Mercy and Justice positioned right on the top of the court building stands as an inspiration. Just opposite to the High Court, there lies Oval Maidan, which is formerly a huge bowling green. This is where English women came to enjoy fresh air. These days, it’s a significant lung in the midst of the congested city wherein aspiring youth practice cricket, the popular sport of the country under watchful eye of Mumbai University and the High Court.
Although the name of the city has changed from Bombay to Mumbai, but the name Bombay High Court, as an institution, continued to be the same. The building marks the 133th anniversary this year (1878-2011). The Gothic style architecture is the major attraction of Bombay High Court.
