Telangana's High Court is the other half of the 2019 split with Andhra Pradesh, and it kept the original building in Hyderabad — a structure completed in 1919, originally constructed for the High Court of the independent princely state of Hyderabad, ruled by the Nizam. That makes its physical home older than the Indian republic, older than the state of Andhra Pradesh it once shared a court with, and older than Telangana itself by a century.

Jurisdiction Map: Covers Telangana. Principal seat: Hyderabad, Telangana. It has no permanent Bench elsewhere; every matter is heard at this one seat.
