Uttarakhand's High Court opened in 2000 under the state's original name, Uttaranchal, and was renamed Uttarakhand High Court in 2007, the same year the state itself reverted to that name. It sits in the hill town of Nainital rather than the state capital, Dehradun, and its location in the Himalayan foothills gives it an unusually large environmental and forest-rights docket for a court of its modest size.
