High Court, Lucknow Bench advocate for clients across Uttar Pradesh
The Lucknow Bench hears cases from sixteen districts of Awadh, and several statewide tribunals and commissions sit in Lucknow. Clients from these districts, and from elsewhere in the State, can consult without travelling first.
Districts within the Lucknow Bench
Writ petitions, bail applications, criminal and civil appeals and other High Court matters arising in these districts are heard at the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench:
- Lucknow
- Barabanki
- Hardoi
- Lakhimpur Kheri
- Sitapur
- Unnao
- Rae Bareli
- Ayodhya
- Ambedkar Nagar
- Sultanpur
- Amethi
- Pratapgarh
- Gonda
- Bahraich
- Balrampur
- Shravasti
Matters from the remaining districts of Uttar Pradesh are heard at the principal seat at Prayagraj.
When only part of the case is connected with Lucknow
Where part of the cause of action arises within the Lucknow Bench's area and part outside it, the petition may in suitable cases be filed at Lucknow. The Supreme Court explained this in Nasiruddin v. State Transport Appellate Tribunal (1975). A common example is a challenge to an order passed by the State Government or a directorate headquartered in Lucknow. This needs to be checked on the facts before filing, because a petition filed at the wrong seat loses time.
