The Telangana High Court is the High Court for the Indian state of Telangana. Founded by the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad Mir Osman Ali Khan, It was established as the High Court for the erstwhile Hyderabad State and in November 1956 after the formation of Andhra Pradesh renamed as High Court of Andhra Pradesh. In 2014, after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, the court was again renamed as High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad.
The President of India, on 26 December 2018, issued orders bifurcating the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad into High Court for the State of Telangana with the principal seat at Hyderabad and the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, with the principal seat at Amaravati. The bifurcation and the constitution of separate High Courts for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh came into effect from 1 January 2019.
From 2 June 2014, after the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 came into force, the court was renamed and served as a common high court for both of the states until 1 January 2019. A separate high court was established for Andhra Pradesh and inaugurated on 1 January 2019 and it was named as Andhra Pradesh High Court.
The Telangana High Court, which has its seat in Hyderabad, has a total sanctioned strength of 42 judges, comprising 32 permanent judges and 10 additional judges.
Since July 2025, Aparesh Kumar Singh has been serving as the Chief Justice of Telangana High Court.
A new building for the High Court is under construction at a site spanning 100 acres at Budvel, Rajendranagar, in Ranga Reddy district, Telangana.
