The people who don’t agree with the decisions given by the lower court in any case can appeal to the District Court. Earlier, the panchayat or village council was the chief judicial body in Pune. The Collector had the most important role to play in the proceeding of the cases filed at either of the judicial institution. In 1825, the first judge for Criminal and Civil cases was appointed. During that time the Collector was given managerial task and was relieved from judicial works.

The rule of Commissionership got abolished in 1826. In 1827, remodeling was done to the old judicature system and was applicable in the Deccan. The Pune district fell under the Deccan and hence was also governed by this remodeled judicature system. In 1838, three district courts were established in Talegaon, Chakan and Junnar. In 1841, another court was established at Indapur. In 1848, five courts were established in districts Vadgaon, Khed, Talegaon, Junnar, and Baramati. Later in 1861, the assistant magistrates were given different names as per their level of work. They were called “Subordinate Magistrate Second Class”, “Subordinate Magistrate First Class”, and “Full-Power Magistrates”.
