Kolkata is home to the Calcutta High Court, one of India's oldest, with the City Civil Court and Sessions Court handling first-instance civil and criminal matters, and a Kolkata bench of the National Company Law Tribunal hearing company and insolvency cases for the region. One notable difference from most other states: West Bengal has not adopted the central RERA framework in the usual form, and instead regulates real estate under its own West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Act (WB-HIRA) — worth knowing if you're dealing with a builder dispute here.
Kolkata's long-standing trading and manufacturing base also means a steady volume of civil recovery, cheque bounce, and consumer matters.
