The Lahore High Court (Urdu: عدالتِ عالیہ لاہور) is a provincial court house based in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It was established as a high court on 21 March 1882.[1] The Lahore High Court has jurisdiction over the province of Punjab. The High Court's principal seat is in Lahore, but there are benches in three other cities of the province: Rawalpindi, Multan and Bahawalpur.[2]

A proposal was sent by lawyers to set up new high court benches in Faisalabad, Sialkot, D.G.Khan and Gujranwala divisions but full court of Lahore High Court turned down this request.[3]
