<P> The creation of Himachal Pradesh on 15 August 1948 led to a separate Court of Judicial Commissioner (similar to a High Court) being established for that state and thus the jurisdiction of the Punjab court was reduced . A separate High Court was constituted for the Union Territory of Delhi under the Delhi High Court Act, 1966 . Three Judges of the Punjab High Court were transferred to the Delhi High Court, which was constituted on 31 October 1966 . </P> <P> The States Reorganisation Act, 1956 paved the way for the formation of Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh from 1 November 1966 . Those formations also saw the renaming of the High Court of Punjab as the High Court of Punjab and Haryana . The Judges of the High Court of Punjab became Judges of the common High Court with all the powers and jurisdiction of the High Court of Punjab . However, the principal seat of the High Court remained at Chandigarh . </P> <P> The High Court of Punjab and Haryana has operated since 1 November 1966 in its present form . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Designation </Th> <Th> Name </Th> <Th> Court No </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Chief Justice </Td> <Td> Shiavax Jal Vazifdar </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Justice </Td> <Td> Ajay Kumar Mittal </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Justice </Td> <Td> Surya Kant </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Justice </Td> <Td> T.P.S.
