Key features of the Kerala High Court
The Kerala High Court, established on 1 November 1956, is headquartered in Kochi, Kerala. The court comprises a Chief Justice and such other Judges as the President may appoint from time to time. As of now, the sanctioned judge strength is 38 Permanent Judges including the Chief Justice and 5 Additional Judges.
Leadership and initiatives
The current Chief Justice of the Kerala High Court is Justice Soumen Sen. The court operates under the motto “Access to Justice” for all, emphasizing inclusivity and support for marginalized sections of society. Initiatives such as legal literacy classes for schools, colleges, and women’s self-help groups like Kudumbashree are conducted by the Kerala State Legal Services Authority (KELSA) to promote legal awareness.
The Kerala High Court also implements the Mediation and Conciliation Centre (KSMCC), an initiative to give effect to Section 89 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which promotes mediation as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism. This project is supported by the Mediation and Conciliation Project Committee (MCPC) of the Supreme Court of India. District Mediation Centres are established at all district headquarters and at North Paravur and Mavelikkara, with sub-centres functioning in many locations.
Accessibility for persons with disabilities
The Kerala High Court website is designed to be accessible to persons with visual impairments. It supports assistive technologies such as screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, SAFA, Supernova, and Window-Eyes. Users can generate tokens and check their status, and access video instructions for assistance.
How to participate in the Regular Admission/Petition Day
- Prepare your documents: Ensure all required documents for the admission or petition matter are ready, including petitions, affidavits, and supporting evidence.

Important notes for advocates and litigants
Advocates and litigants must adhere to the court’s timings and procedures. The court sittings are held in two sessions: 10:15 AM to 1:00 PM and 1:45 PM to 4:30 PM. Any delays or non-compliance with the procedures may result in the matter being adjourned or dismissed.
For matters requiring urgent attention, litigants should ensure they file the necessary applications or petitions well in advance of the Regular Admission/Petition Day to avoid last-minute complications.
Role of KELSA and legal aid
The Kerala State Legal Services Authority (KELSA) plays a pivotal role in providing legal aid to the poor, weak, and marginalized sections of society. Through various programs, including legal literacy classes and support for women’s self-help groups, KELSA ensures that constitutional and legal rights are accessible to all. Litigants who require legal aid can approach KELSA for assistance.
Mediation and alternative dispute resolution
The Mediation and Conciliation Centre (KSMCC) offers an alternative to traditional litigation by promoting mediation as a means to resolve disputes. This initiative aligns with Section 89 of the Code of Civil Procedure and is supported by the Mediation and Conciliation Project Committee (MCPC) of the Supreme Court of India. Parties involved in disputes are encouraged to explore mediation as a faster and more cost-effective solution.
