The guests-of-honour included former judges of Supreme Court, Justice Sujata Manohar and Justice B N Srikrishna and Maharashtra&#8217;s former Advocate General Darius Khambata.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, the Bombay High Court celebrated 150th year of its existence. As one of three High Courts first set up in colonial India in 1862, it functioned as a court of original and appellate jurisdiction during the British Raj for over 80 years, occupying the topmost rung of the judicial hierarchy in the all-important Bombay Presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, remarkably little is known of how the court functioned during the colonial era.<\/p>\n<p>Examining the backgrounds and lives of the 83 judges ? British and Indians ? who served at the Bombay High Court during the colonial era, and by exploring the court&#8217;s colonial past, the book attempts to understand why British colonial institutions like the Bombay HC flourished even after India became independent.<\/p>\n<p>The author, Abhinav Chandrachud, practices as an advocate at the Bombay High Court. He is also the author of &#8216;The Informal Constitution: Unwritten Criteria in Selecting Judges for the Supreme Court of India&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>He is the son of Allahabad High Court Chief Justice Dr Dhananjay Chandrachud and grandson of former Chief Justice of India Y V Chandrachud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Independent Colonial Judiciary&#8217;, a book outlining the history of the Bombay High Court during the British Raj from 1862 to 1947, was released by Chief Justice Mohit Shah at a function here.
