#HeritageCalolkata # HighcourtFlowershow2020 There was a flower exhibition in the garden of the High Court. Like every year, this year also the Calcutta High Court was decorated for 4-5 days at the flower fair. While the flower festival is being celebrated in different places of the city and suburbs during the winter season, flowers have also found a place in the courtyard of His Majesty's High Court. Lawyers, ordinary people and employees of different ages were also seen to find peace in the vicinity of Dudand flowers only after coming out of the discussion of legal books. A few days ago, a flower exhibition was held at the Vidhan Sabha building next to it. Although this is my first experience of seeing the assembly flower show, this is my first experience of seeing the flower show of the High Court. There were snowballs, chrysanthemums of different colors, Dahlia, Xenia, Petunia, Marigold. The beauty of the flowers seemed to be further enhanced by the impeccable architectural background of the High Court. There is no place like Alipore Horticulture Garden for flower display in the High Court. Still, the flower display of the Calcutta High Court filled my mind. Not only flowers but also fruits were on display. There were bonsai trees filled with ripe oranges, bonsai trees filled with mangoes! There were many types of orchids along with other flowers. However, the orchids were not kept in the open field next to other flowers in the sun. Then they would become lifeless. Orchids need shade and low warmth for healthy growth. So the orchids were hung from the top with a cloth pendulum next to the porch of the High Court. Orchids do not need soil to grow. Occasionally spray water with coconut husk and charcoal in a well-ventilated container with the orchid hanging in it. It also collects water vapor from the air through orchid roots.

The Calcutta High Court is the oldest High Court in India. It has jurisdiction over the state of West Bengal and the Union Territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The High Court building’s design is based on the Cloth Hall, Ypres, in Belgium. The court has a sanctioned judge strength of 72. The Calcutta High Court is one of the three High Courts in India established at the Presidency Towns by Letters patent granted by Her Majesty Queen Victoria, bearing date June 26, 1862, and is the oldest High Court in India. It was established as the High Court of Judicature at Fort William on July 1, 1862, under the High Courts Act, 1861, which was preceded by the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William. Despite the name of the city having officially changed from Calcutta to Kolkata in 2001, the Court, as an institution retained the old name. The bill to rename it as Kolkata High Court was approved by the Cabinet on July 5, 2016, alongside the renaming of its two other counterparts in Chennai and Mumbai However, the High Court still retains the old name. The neo-Gothic High Court building was constructed in 1872, ten years after the establishment of the court itself. The design, by then government architect Walter Granville, was loosely modeled on the 13th-century Cloth Hall at Ypres, Belgium. The seat of the Calcutta High Court is at Kolkata, capital of West Bengal. As per the Calcutta High Court (Extension of Jurisdiction) Act, 1953, the Calcutta High Court”s jurisdiction was extended to cover Chandernagore (now called Chandannagar) and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as of 2 May 1950. The Calcutta High Court extended its Circuit Bench in Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and in Jalpaiguri, the headquarters of the Jalpaiguri division of West Bengal.
