Although the court of judicial commissioner came into being on August 15, 1948 followed by two other courts of District and sessional Judges. In the year 1966, Delhi High Court Act was enacted and with effect from May first, the central government of India extended its jurisdiction. This made the earlier Court of judicial commissioner to Himachali Bench of Delhi High Court at Shimla itself.
