The Calcutta High Court’s territorial jurisdiction, extended under the Calcutta High Court (Extension of Jurisdiction) Act, 1953, covers the State of West Bengal and the Union Territory of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Hence the High Court that entertains writs and appeals arising from these islands is the Calcutta High Court, not the High Courts of Andhra Pradesh, Madras or Orissa.
