Jharkhand's High Court opened at Ranchi on 15 November 2000, the same reorganisation wave that produced Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand, taking over judicial responsibility for the newly separate state from the Patna High Court. Because Jharkhand sits on some of India's richest mineral deposits, an unusually large share of its docket ends up being about mining rights, forest land, and tribal claims to it.
