In November 2000, India split three new states out of three old ones — Chhattisgarh from Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand from Bihar, Uttarakhand from Uttar Pradesh — and each got its own High Court within days of the others. Chhattisgarh's landed at Bilaspur, not the state capital Raipur, simply because that's where the new court's building was ready first.
