History of Rajasthan High Court
The High Court of Rajasthan, as ‘A’ Class State, started with the strength of only 6 judges. The then Chief Justice of India, Hon’ble Mr. Justice S.R. Das came to Rajasthan to scrutinize the functioning of the High Court by sitting with the Hon'’le Judges in the Court and found that all the 6 Judges were fit to be appointed and on his recommendation, the President of India, issued fresh warrants of appointment and once again the Oath taking ceremony took place on 1st November1956.
Four Judges Viz. Justice Bapna, Justice Ranawat, Justice Sharma and Justice Bhandari used to sit in the Jaipur Bench but Justice Dave and Justice Modi used to sit at Jodhpur, Chief Justice Wanchoo used to sit at both places. In the year 1958, the Bench at Jaipur was initially abolished but was re established w.e.f January 31st 1977. The strength of the High Court, since thereafter went on increasing which has now become to 32 Judges.
