In 1901, a Munsif Court was established in the region. Until 1900, the litigants had to go to Jajpur for filing Civil Cases. The Court of Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.), Bhadrak and Additional District Judge, Bhadrak were established in the year 1966 and 1987 respectively. After the reconstitution of the districts in the State, the new revenue district of Bhadrak was constituted in 1993. Subsequently, the court of District and Sessions Judge, Bhadrak was established on 21st May, 2011 after being separated from Balasore judgeship. 25 different courts are functioning in this judgeship with outlying stations at Basudevpur, Chandbali, and Dhamnagar.
