The Meghalaya High Court is the High Court of the state of Meghalaya.[1] It was established in March 2013, after making suitable amendments in the Constitution of India and North-Eastern Areas (Re-organisation) Act of 1971. Earlier, a bench of the Gauhati High Court had jurisdiction over the state of Meghalaya. The seat of the High Court is at Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. This court has four permanent judges, including the Hon'ble Chief Justice, and three Hon'ble Judges.

The current Chief Justice is Justice Indra Prasanna Mukerji, who took charge on 3 October 2024.[2]
