High Court of Chhattisgarh

What High Court of Chhattisgarh does

The High Court of Chhattisgarh is a constitutional institution of the Indian judiciary, established on 1 November 2000 under the Madhya Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2000, as the 19th High Court of India. It serves as the highest judicial authority for the State of Chhattisgarh, exercising jurisdiction over civil, criminal, constitutional, and original matters, and overseeing 23 district courts spanning all districts of the state. The court has a sanctioned strength of 22 judges and operates from its Bilaspur headquarters — a 61-acre campus with 15 courtrooms, 300+ chambers, and a residential colony of 268 houses (expanding to 379). User segments include the general public and litigants, advocates and legal professionals, and underprivileged communities eligible for free legal aid.

The court's core technology platform is built on the Government of India's e-Courts Mission Mode Project infrastructure, providing a unified suite of digital services: e-Filing, e-Pay (court fees and traffic challans), Video Conferencing for virtual hearings across the High Court and district courts, a real-time Justice Clock dashboard for case pendency tracking, live streaming of proceedings, e-Gate Pass mobile application, and an Online RTI Portal. It also operates a Legal Services Platform, Mediation Centre, and bilingual (Hindi/English) judgment portals, with district-specific Justice Clock dashboards for all 23 district courts. Integrations include the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) and the e-Courts Platform managed by the e-Committee of the Supreme Court of India. Strategic technology partners include the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and the e-Committee, while the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) provides policy direction and funding for legal aid.

The High Court does not generate revenue in the commercial sense. As a constitutional institution, it is funded by the State Government of Chhattisgarh and the Central Government. Operational sustainability is derived from government budgetary allocations and statutory filing fees, with court fees payable through official electronic payment portals as nominal charges for legal proceedings. As of 10 July 2026, the court carried a backlog of 74,048 pending cases (51,375 civil, 22,673 criminal). The court operates an active alternative dispute resolution program, having organized 240 Lok Adalats resolving 2,759 cases between December 2003 and April 2016.
