About :

Tis Hazari is a neighbourhood in Old Delhi, India just south of the Northern Ridge. It is the location of the Tis Hazari Courts Complex which was inaugurated on 19 March 1958 by Chief Justice Mr. A. N. Bhandari of the then Punjab High Court. It is one of the five District Courts that function under the Delhi High Court, and continues to be the principal Court building in state of Delhi.

The Tis Hazari Courts Building was inaugurated in 1958, though in the earlier days the Tis Hazari was the only court complex in the whole of the Delhi as the District Level Court Complex--- But at Present Tis Hazari Houses only Courts having their jurisdiction over Central Delhi, West Delhi. Courts having their jurisdiction upon other parts of Delhi have been gradually shifted to other court complexes which have come up in various parts of Delhi like in 2006 Rohini Court complex was established which has courts having jurisdiction over North-West Delhi and Outer Delhi.

The District Courts (from which both civil and criminal cases were transferred) branched out from the original Tis hazari Courts are : District Courts at Patiala House (New Delhi District), Karkarduma (East Delhi District), Rohini (North & West District), Dwarka (South West District) and Saket (South District). Saket Court Complex started functioning with effect from Saturday, 28 August 2010. The Work of Civil and Criminal cases relating to South Civil District and South and South East Police Districts earlier looked after at Patiala House Courts Complex is now taken up with effect from the functioning of the courts of the respective districts at the new court complex at Saket.
