There is no state high court in Arunachal Pradesh. The judicial system of Arunachal Pradesh comes under the jurisdiction of Gauhati High Court. Gauhati High Court is the apex judicial court in the entire North East region of India, with circuit benches operating in all the North East states on a permanent basis. One of the last additions was a permanent circuit bench of the Gauhati High Court in Arunachal Pradesh. They judge all the criminal and the civil cases of the state that reach there through the lower courts operative in Arunachal Pradesh.
Formation of the Gauhati High Court in Arunachal Pradesh
The circuit bench of the Gauhati High Court at Arunachal Pradesh has been operative ever since the formation of Arunachal Pradesh as an independent state. However, it was granted permanent status in 2000, by Sri KR Narayanan, the President of India at that point. It was a moment of great joy for the Gauhati High Court, since the High Court in Itanagar was a new feather in the cap of the judicial system of the northeastern region. It was formed with two chambers, a registrar and two deputy registrars. It was inaugurated by Mr. Justice SN Phukan, Judge of the Supreme Court of India as he released the cause list on its first working day. The first court was held by Mr. Justice NC Jain on 14 August, 2000.Composition of Gauhati High Court in Arunachal Pradesh
