Esplanade Police Court, Bombay (1889)

ESPLANADE POLICE COURT
BOMBAY , 1889
The only police court used to be in Fort, just off Bora Bazar Street. The court also lent its name to the
street, which came to be known as Police Court Lane. As this court, which was occupied for many
years by the courts of the Senior and third magistrates, became old and unsuitable; a new Gothic-style
sandstone building was constructed in 1888. This stands on what is today’s Mahapalika Marg and called
the Esplanade Police Court. The court is situated right next to other heritage buildings like the BMC
Headquarters and St Xavier’s College.
