On March 6, 1972, a circuit bench of the Patna High Court was constituted in Ranchi in accordance with clause 36 of the Patna High Court’s letters patent. The High Court in Patna (Establishment of Permanent Bench at Ranchi) Act 1976 (Act 57 of 1976), which took effect on April 8, 1976, made the circuit bench the Patna High Court’s permanent bench. On November 15, 2000, the Bihar state was reorganized, and this permanent bench ultimately became the Jharkhand High Court.
