History

Orissa was originally part of Bengal Presidency. On 22 March 1912, the new provinces of Bihar and Orissa was formed but, it remained under Calcutta Jurisdiction. On 9 February 1916, Orissa was placed under Patna's High Court Jurisdiction. Madhusudan Das Utkala Gourav said that a permanent bench would be soon in the capital—Cuttack. 26 July 1938, the high court bar association at Cuttack passed a resolution demanding a separate court for the province. A committee formed in 1942, published it's report on 31 December 1943, stating that creating a separate high court would led to more faster and convenient administration. On 30 April 1948, Governor General of India issued the Orissa High Court Order, providing for the constitution of the high court for Orissa.
