Description: High Court of Karnataka is located in the state capital of Bangalore. The High Court is built of red brick and is known as Attara Kacheri. It is in front of Vidhana Soudha.
The history of the Karnataka High Court can be traced to a building called Attara Kacheri (meaning eighteen offices). It is a two-storey building of red painted stone and brick in the Greco-Roman style of architecture, a structure of immense expanse with Ionic porticoes in the centre and at either end of the elevation. The construction of the building was supervised by Rao Bahadur Arcot Narayanswami Mudaliar and it was completed in the year 1868. It was earlier named after the old public offices and was named Attara Kacheri when there were eighteen departments in the General and Revenue Secretariat of the Government. Mysore. Tipu shifted here from his crowded premises in the summer palace of the Sultan. Tipu's palace was only a temporary home for offices. When Mr. Bowring took over as Commissioner after Cubbon, he found the building unsuitable because of the state of maintenance as well as the limited accommodation, which was no longer adequate for the greatly increased work of the administration of the State. It was he who conceived and prepared the plan for a complete secretariat building in the urban area. The construction was started in 1864 and was completed in 1868 at Rs 4.5 lakh. 1884 The Chief Court of Mysore was created with three judges and was designated as the highest court of appeal, reference and revision in Mysore State, the old name of Karnataka. It was renamed Mysore High Court in 1930. It got its present name Karnataka High Court in 1973.
