In 1955 the Dhaka High Court and the Lahore High Court became the High Court of East Pakistan, and the High Court of West Pakistan.[6] The West Pakistan High Court had benches at Karachi and Peshawar as well as circuit courts at Quetta (replacing the Judicial Commissioner in Balochistan) and Bahawalpur (replacing the High Court of Judicature at Baghdad-ul-Jadid).[7]
