About Odisha High Court
The Orissa High Court is the High Court for the Indian state of Odisha.
On 1 April 1936, Odisha was made a separate province but no separate High Court was provided for it. The Government of India agreed to create a new High Court, and for that purpose, the Government of India issued the Odisha High Court Order, 1948 on 30 April 1948 under section 229 (1) of the Government of India Act, 1935. Finally, on 26 July 1948, the Odisha High Court was formally inaugurated.
