The Nuapada Judgeship was inaugurated on 7th July 2012 after being bifurcated from the Kalahandi Judgeship. The combined Judgeship of Kalahandi-Nuapada-Bolangir started functioning with effect from 17th June 1948 with its headquarters at Balangir. The Judgeship of Kalahandi-Nuapada was separated with effect from 28th February 1982 from the Balangir Judgeship.
After the creation of Nuapada as a separate district, the Kalahandi-Nuapada Judgeship continued until 6th July 2012, when the Judgeship of Nuapada was separated on 7th July 2012 from the Kalahandi-Nuapada Judgeship. Presently, the Judgeship is functioning with 14 different Courts with outlying stations at Khariar, Sinapali, Boden, and Komna.
