Sadr Diwani Adalat

The Ṣadr Dīwānī ʿAdālat (Urdu: صدر دیوانی عدالت, Bengali: সদর দেওয়ানি আদালত) (English: Sudder Dewanny Adawlut) was the Supreme Court of Revenue in British India established in 1772 at Calcutta by Warren Hastings, the first governor-general of Bengal. It was reformed in 1780 and again in 1793 by the British Parliament. The court's judges were the Governor General and Council Members of the East India Company, assisted by native judges and officers of revenue.
