Courts of Bundi

A system of judiciary and courts was existent in the district of Bundi since the time of the Hada Rajputs, who had settled and dominated the Hadoti region, in which Bundi is included. The region received its name from its rulers who had laid siege in the place during the 13th century and remained there for many centuries to come. The Hada Rajputs, had included the regions of Jhalawar, Kota and Baran, besides Bundi in their kingdom of Hadoti. Following the separation of Kota and Jhalawar from under the region of Hadoti during the 16th and 19th century respectively, Bundi remained an independent state until the end of the British Raj in 1947.

In 1942
Attention was paid to the general rights of the civilians residing within Bundi, as a Munsif Court was established in the year 1942 along with the creation of a post of Public Prosecutor who can represent and fight the plea of civilians in the court of Justice.
