The Madras High Court, one of the landmarks of the metropolis of Chennai, India, and
believed to be the second largest judicial complex in the world, is located near the Parrys Corner, one of the important central business districts of Chennai.History
Madras High Court was established on June 26, 1862 as one of the three High Courts of India (others at Bombay and Calcutta) established at Presidency Towns by Letters Patent granted by Queen Victoria.[1] The jurisdiction of the Madras High Court extends to Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
Although the name of the city was changed from Madras to Chennai in 1996, the C
ourt as an institution did not follow suit and remained as the Madras High Court.
Along with the Bombay and Calcutta High Courts, it is one of three Courts which were designated as Supreme Courts for their respective Presidencies prior to the Indian High Courts Act, 1861. The Court has a Letters Patent issued by the British Crown and has been a pioneer in Original Side jurisdiction reform in favour of Indian practitioners, as early as in the 1870s.

The building of the High Court, an exquisite example of Indo-Saracenic style of archi
tecture, was built in 1892, under the guidance of the famed architect Henry Irwin.[2] The High Court building was damaged in the shelling of Madras by S.M.S. Emden on 22nd September 1914, at the beginning of the First World War. It remains one of the very few Indian buildings to have been damaged by a German attack

They are fore runner for few policies instated at national level such as reservation policies for dominant caste and sectors in the society. Both parties stemmed from the Dravidian movement, which demanded greater rights for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu.
Lying on the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, the Annamalai Hills, and Palakkad on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as the Kaveri, Palar, and Vaigai, as well as the northeast monsoon. Traditionally a manufacturing state, Tamil Nadu is also a leading agricultural producer.
The sixth most populous state in India, Tamil Nadu has the largest national urban
agglomeration. In recent times, population growth in the state has been amongst the lowest in the nation. Globalisation has brought increased export opportunities, making Tamil Nadu the third largest economy among the states of India. There has also been an increase in the number of educational institutions in Tamil Nadu, with the state containing the most vocational training institutions in India. Chennai, the state capital (known until 1996 as Madras), is the fourth largest city in India. Coimbatore, Erode, Madurai, Tiruchirapalli, Salem, Tirunelveli and Tirupur are other corporations of Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu has been continuously inhabited by humans since prehistoric times, and its historical and cultural traditions are among the oldest in the world. The Tamil kingdoms of Chera, Chola, Pandya and Pallava were responsible for the production of some of the oldest surviving literature in India. Also, Carnatic Music, Bharatanatyam dance and Indian architecture evolved within the state. Indeed, several famous composers, such as Tyagaraja, lived and flourished
