The Allahabad High Court, officially the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, is the high court of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Its principal seat is at Prayagraj, the city long known as Allahabad, and it keeps a permanent bench at Lucknow. The court was established on 17 March 1866 at Agra and was moved to Allahabad in 1869, which makes it one of the oldest high courts created in India. Its authority comes from the Constitution of India. Its judges are appointed by the President of India with confirmation by the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the state, and they retire by law at age 62. The source lists a sanctioned strength of 160 positions, of which 76 are permanent and 84 are additional.
