Why both High Court at Allahabad and High Court Bench in Lucknow are in Eastern UP only? By any reckoning, the full form of Apex Court we all know is “Supreme Court of India” and not “Supreme Court of Discrimination”! The Andhra Pradesh High Court Bench at Kurnool has jurisdiction over just eight districts of Rayalaseema. Port Blair High Court Bench of Calcutta High Court has jurisdiction not over a district but only Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Gulbarga High Court Bench of Karnataka High Court had initially jurisdiction over just four districts of Bidar, Bijapur, Gulbarga (Kalaburagi) and Raichur and then expanded to cover six districts including Yadgir and Bellary.
