High court

Chartered High Court exercised different powers apart from exercising power

Chartered High Court exercised different powers apart from exercising power provided under the Presidential Towns. They have been empowered by Letters Patent to exercise jurisdiction under Admiralty matters, testamentary and intestate, matrimonial cases, original side, etc.

There were only three Chartered High Courts established in India, namely, Calcutta, Bombay and Madras during the British reign, which have been continued to be as such in the respective places. Those Chartered High Court exercised different powers apart from exercising power provided under the Presidential Towns.
