Established under the British parliament’s Indian highcourt act 1861 during the British regime, the Court is supposedly the second largest judicial complex in the world. The British architects, for their ingenious Indo-Saracenic design, deserve every bit of credit for this architectural marvel. These buildings have survived a relentless attack by Germans during the First World War. The complex also houses the dilapidated old light house of Madras Port. Besides being the home of some landmark judgements, the court complex is a remarkable historic monument.

Stunning building but we were told at gate you are not allowed to enter so took photos from the road. Considering this I would not travel out of the way to see it but if close by, worth a visit.

This was established by Britain in 19th century and its architecture still depicts that era. The building is old and you need a proper valid ID card to visit this place.

On 28th Apr'18, got to visit Madras High court along with Kothanavalli mam & my mom. Madras High court is one of the three High Courts in India established in the three Presidency Towns of Bombay, Calcutta and Madras by Letters patent granted by Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
The Madras High Court is the birthplace of organised legal reporting in India. It is home to the Madras Law Journal.,[14] which was the first journal dedicated to reporting texts of judgments of the High Court. Historical Building..

We landed up on a Sunday and it worked in our favour as they allow you to view arts of the complex provided you have someone from security to walk around with you, which worked out great because of all the things we got to learn. Beautiful architecture! As a student of law it was doubly special for me. Photographs are not allowed and some places are out of bounds for security reasons but its ok. This complex contains the largest number of courts in Asia! Please do visit, or at least try to walk by if you can. Sadly the construction work for the metro outside was marring the view.

Fantastic building but if you are visiting as a tourist then it is only open on a Sunday otherwise it operates as a fully functioning court and access (and photography) is restricted.

This is one of the historical High Court of India. This was established by the British Govt. in the 19th century. great place to visit. thousand of Advocates are practicing hear. It has a great architectural value. It looks like a palace. One can enter into the building with a valid ID Card . However, none can enter into court rooms without obtaining pass.

One of best looking old architecture located inside greenery campus in Chennai. Lots of green trees are there with brown-painted buildings. As it is a high court, it is not a public attraction point. But the court can very well be viewed from the street as well as if you traveling in vehicle. The court is located near Parry's corner.
