CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY AND CONSTITUTION OF COIMBATORE DISTRICT JUDICIARY, ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE,JAILS AND LAW AND ORDER

In 1806, a Zillah Court was established in Dharapuram under Regulations II and III of 1802. However, its powers were quite limited, and the judicial authority of the collectors was abolished. Concurrently, a Sadr Amin and Mufti Sadr Amin Court were established.

By 1816, the Zillah and Pundit and Mufti Sadr Amin Courts were relocated from Dharapuram to Coimbatore. These courts operated until 1822 when they were abolished and the jurisdiction of Coimbatore district was incorporated into the Salem Court. This arrangement persisted until 1826.

In 1827, a new court called "The Auxiliary Court," presided over by an "Assistant Judge," was established under Regulations I and II of 1827. Additionally, a Sadr Amin Court was instituted. The Assistant Judge held equivalent civil powers as the Zillah Judge.
