Kolkata, February 12 The over 150-year-old neo-Gothic Calcutta High Court building received a new postal address on Thursday, after the Kolkata Municipal Corporation changed the name of the street on which the building is located.
The name of the street was changed from Esplanade Row (West) to Justice Radhabinod Pal Sarani.
The oldest high court in the country will now have the address of 3, Justice Radhabinod Pal Sarani, Kolkata, West Bengal, PIN - 700001, according to a notification from the high court's registrar general.
The neo-Gothic High Court building was constructed in 1872, ten years after the establishment of the court itself, according to its official website.
The design, by then government architect Walter Granville, was loosely modeled on the 13th-century Cloth Hall at Ypres, Belgium, it said.
Justice Radhabinod Pal (1886 - 1967) was a prominent Indian jurist, known for his dissenting judgment at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, also known as the Tokyo Trials, after World War II.
