Q114 (CDS-II/2008) Polity & Governance › Judiciary › High Courts structure and powers Answer Verified

The Bombay High Court does not have a bench at which one of the following places?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Bombay High Court, established in 1862, has its principal seat in Mumbai [4]. Under the provisions of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, it maintains permanent benches at Nagpur and Aurangabad in Maharashtra, and at Panaji in Goa [4]. While Pune falls under the territorial jurisdiction of the principal seat at Mumbai for appellate matters, it does not host a permanent or circuit bench of the High Court [4]. Recent administrative developments have led to the establishment of a new circuit bench at Kolhapur, which was inaugurated in August 2025 to serve six districts of Western Maharashtra. However, Pune remains served by the principal seat in Mumbai rather than having its own bench [4]. Therefore, among the given options, Pune is the location where the Bombay High Court does not have a bench.
