It was formally inaugurated by the then Chief Justice on Friday, the 27^th January, 2012. After formal inauguration of the Centre, the Hon'ble Judges have started sending queries and legal questions to the Research Centre which are being responded through memoranda prepared by the Research Officers. A standard operating procedure has been devised for smooth functioning of the Centre and to prescribe job description of Research Officers. Keeping in view the needs of the Centre, a post of Senior Research Officer has created been. The Research Centre has been housed in the 'Judges Old Library' situated in the basement of the High Court building. The purpose to house the Centre in library was to facilitate the Research Officers towards easy access to the conventional research materials, i.e., books, law journals, law reporters and other materials available in the library.
