Matters Before the Punjab & Haryana High Court

Last updated: 11 July 2026 · General legal information, not legal advice

In short: The Punjab & Haryana High Court at Chandigarh is the High Court for Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh — every appeal, revision, quashing petition and High-Court bail matter from Faridabad and other Haryana districts is heard there. Its heaviest dockets: criminal miscellaneous petitions (bail and quashing), civil writs, appeals, and protection petitions. The chamber conducts Faridabad-origin matters before this Court, with filing typically completed within 2–3 working days of engagement.

Bail at the High Court — how it works

When the Sessions Court at Faridabad declines anticipatory or regular bail, a fresh application lies before the High Court under Sections 482/483 BNSS — heard independently, not as an appeal. Drafting and filing through Chandigarh typically takes 2–3 working days; genuinely urgent matters are mentioned for early listing, and interim protection can be sought at the first hearing. The Court's criminal-miscellaneous docket is its busiest — precise drafting that squarely addresses the Sessions Court's reasoning is what moves these matters.

Quashing — Section 528 BNSS

The High Court's inherent power to quash FIRs and proceedings follows State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (1992): no offence disclosed on the face of the allegations, inherently improbable accusations, manifest malafides, or civil disputes given criminal colour. Compromise-based quashing (per Gian Singh v. State of Punjab, 2012) resolves a large share of matrimonial (498A/S.85) and commercial FIRs from Faridabad — usually packaged with settlement terms recorded before the Court.

Protection petitions — a docket unique in scale

This High Court hears an exceptionally large number of petitions by couples — inter-caste, inter-faith, or married against family opposition — seeking protection of life and liberty under Article 226; the Court itself has recorded that 80–90 such petitions are listed daily. The petition annexes the marriage proof and the threat representation to police; the usual order directs the district SP/Commissionerate to assess the threat and extend protection. For couples from Faridabad, the representation goes to the Faridabad Police Commissionerate first — a properly documented representation before filing strengthens the petition.

Practicalities for Faridabad litigants

  • Location: the High Court sits at Sector 1, Chandigarh — roughly 250 km from Faridabad; personal presence of the litigant is rarely required except where the Court directs.
  • E-filing & video conferencing: the Court runs e-filing, and VC appearance is permitted in listed categories — many routine hearings no longer require physical travel.
  • Case status & cause lists: available on the Court's official website (highcourtchd.gov.in) by case number, party name, or advocate name.
  • Certified copies: through the copying agency; urgent copies of bail/quashing orders are routinely obtained the same or next day for compliance at Faridabad.
  • Onward appeal: against High Court orders, a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court of India (Article 136), filed through an Advocate-on-Record.
