Gorakhpur District Court


The Gorakhpur District Court evolved over time from the days of Munsifs in 1862. As Tehsils were set up, the administration of Munsifs became more streamlined and gave rise to District and Session Judges for criminal as well as civil jurisdiction. From August 1, 1945 onwards, separate judgeships and temporary courts were formed for various divisions of Gorakhpur.
