The Telangana High Court is the High Court for the Indian state of Telangana. Founded by the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad Mir Osman Ali Khan, It was established as a High Court for the erstwhile Hyderabad State and in November 1956 after formation of Andhra Pradesh renamed as High Court of Andhra Pradesh. In 2014, after bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh the Court was again renamed as High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad.
The President of India, on 26 December 2018, issued orders bifurcating the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad into High Court for the State of Telangana with the principal seat at Hyderabad and the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, with the principal seat at Amaravati. The bifurcation and the constitution of separate High Courts for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh came into effect from 1 January 2019.
From 2 June 2014, after the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 came into force, the court was renamed and served as a common high court for both of the states until 1 January 2019. A separate high court was established for Andhra Pradesh and inaugurated on 1 January 2019 and it was named as Andhra Pradesh High Court.
The seat of the high court is in Hyderabad and has been sanctioned for 42 judges.
In July 2023, Alok Aradhe was nominated as new chief justice of Telangana High Court.
