Explanation:

In August 2019, a Reorganisation Bill was passed by both houses of the Indian Parliament.

This bill reorganised the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories—Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh—as of 31 October 2019.

After this reorganisation, the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir continued serving as the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh for both union territories

The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir was established by Order No. 1, issued by Maharaja Hari Singh on 26 March 1928.

The Maharaja appointed Lala Kanwar Sain as the first Chief Justice, and Lala Bodh Raj Sawhney and Khan Sahib Aga Syed Hussain as puisne judges.

The court has a sanctioned judge strength of 17, 13 of whom are permanent judges, and 4 are additional judges.
