High Court of Punjab and Haryana

What High Court of Punjab and Haryana does

The High Court of Punjab and Haryana is a constitutional judicial institution established in 1955 under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, headquartered in Chandigarh in a complex designed by French architect Le Corbusier. It serves as the common High Court for the States of Punjab (23 districts), Haryana (22 districts), and the Union Territory of Chandigarh (2 districts), exercising appellate, writ, and supervisory jurisdiction over 47 district courts and a catchment population across northern India. Its core functions include resolution of civil and criminal disputes, constitutional matters, public interest litigations, service matters, and judicial oversight of state government actions, along with supervision of subordinate judiciary and regulation of the Bar via the Roll of Advocates.

The institution operates an integrated digital court services platform comprising a Case Management System, mandatory e-Filing (since November 2024), e-Diary, Case Status portal, Judgments and Orders database, e-Copy/Inspection, Objection Portal, Display Board, Free Text Judgment Search, Commercial Court Data, MP/MLAs Cases Portal, Justice Clock, and an e-RTI portal, supported by PHHC mobile applications on Android and iOS, official Telegram and YouTube channels, and an Online Video Conference Module for virtual hearings. A physical security layer (RFID Cards and High Security Vehicle Stickers) is being deployed on premises.

As a constitutional body under the Government of India, the High Court has no commercial revenue model; it is funded through budgetary allocations from Punjab, Haryana, and the central government, with court fees governed by respective state rules. It does not engage in commercial marketing or private fundraising, and serves three primary user segments — General Public/Litigants, Advocates and Legal Professionals, and Government Departments — through both physical court facilities and digital self-serve channels.
