Nice place to watch Ganga/Hughli river view. However, ghat is used for multipurpose use. Cleanliness should be better. Parking is available but alongside adjoining road.

The promulgation of Regulating Act of 1773 by the King of England paved the way for establishment of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Calcutta. The Letters of Patent was issued on 26 March 1774 to establish the Supreme Court of Judicature at Calcutta, as a Court of Record, with ‘full power and authority’ to ‘hear and determine all complaints for any crimes’ and also ‘to entertain, hear and determine any suits or actions against any of His Majesty’s subjects in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa’.Sir Elijah Impey (13 June 1732 – 1 October 1809) was appointed as the first chief justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William in Bengal, Chief Justice of the Sadr Diwani Adalat. His presence at the Court ensured a few notable cases. In 1775 he presided at the trial of Maharaja Nandakumar, who was accused of forging a bond in an attempt to deprive a widow of more than half her inheritance.It was at the insistence of Impey that a new Ghat was constructed a few yards to the north of Prinsep Ghat. This Ghat was specifically designated for the use of ‘high ranking’ British officials, especially Judges who were posted in India by the Empire to step on the Indian soil. The Ghat, therefore, was christened as the Judges Ghat. Interestingly, it is also referred to as the Gwalior Ghat, perhaps because of its proximity to the Gwalior Monument that is located a few paces away from the Ghat.Gwalior Monument, also known as Ellenborough’s Folly, or, The Pepperpot, is an octagonal cenotaph about 60 feet high, crowned with a bronze dome. It was erected in 1847 by Lord Ellenborough, the Governor-General of India, as a memorial to the officers and men who fell during the Gwalior War in 1843.It was designed by Colonel H Goodwyn of the Bengal Engineers and constructed by Jessop and Company. The base is a single storied white marble structure with a spiral staircase leading to a marble cenotaph on the upper floor from the inside. The top of the monument is built like a Mughal ‘chhatri’ or umbrella supported by 8 bronze pillars.The dome of the cenotaph is crowned with a bronze dome cast from guns captured from the Marathas during the Gwalior War. One can enjoy the majestic Hooghly River seen along with the full view of the Howrah Bridge as well as the Vidyasagar Setu from the Gwalior Monument.इंग्लैंड के राजा द्वारा 1773 के विनियमन अधिनियम की घोषणा ने कलकत्ता में सर्वोच्च न्यायालय की स्थापना का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया। 26 मार्च 1774 को कलकत्ता में सर्वोच्च न्यायालय की स्थापना के लिए एक रिकॉर्ड ऑफ कोर्ट के रूप में पूर्ण शक्ति और अधिकार के साथ किसी भी अपराधों के लिए सभी शिकायतों को सुनने और निर्धारित करने के लिए और साथ ही मनोरंजन के लिए पत्र जारी किया गया था। बंगाल, बिहार और उड़ीसा में महामहिम के किसी भी विषय के खिलाफ कोई भी मुकदमा या कार्रवाई सुनें और निर्धारित करें। सर एलिजा इम्पे (१३ जून १ --३२ - १ अक्टूबर १ Jud० ९) को बंगाल के फोर्ट विलियम में सुप्रीम कोर्ट ऑफ़ ज्यूडिशियरी का पहला मुख्य न्यायाधीश नियुक्त किया गया, जो सदर दीवानी अदालत के मुख्य न्यायाधीश थे। न्यायालय में उनकी उपस्थिति ने कुछ उल्लेखनीय मामलों को सुनिश्चित किया। 1775 में उन्होंने महाराजा नंदकुमार के मुकदमे की अध्यक्षता की, जिन पर अपने आधे से अधिक वंशजों की एक विधवा को वंचित करने के प्रयास में एक बंधन बनाने का आरोप था।यह इम्पी के आग्रह पर था कि प्रिंसेप घाट के उत्तर में कुछ गज की दूरी पर एक नए घाट का निर्माण किया गया था। इस घाट को विशेष रूप से ’उच्च रैंकिंग’ ब्रिटिश अधिकारियों, विशेष रूप से न्यायाधीशों के उपयोग के लिए नामित किया गया था, जिन्हें साम्राज्य द्वारा भारतीय भूमि पर कदम रखने के लिए भारत में तैनात किया गया था। इसलिए, घाट को न्यायाधीश घाट के रूप में नामित किया गया था। दिलचस्प बात यह है कि इसे ग्वालियर घाट के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, शायद इसकी वजह ग्वालियर स्मारक से निकटता है जो घाट से कुछ दूर स्थित है।ग्वालियर स्मारक, जिसे एलेनबोरो के फूली के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, या, द पेपरपरपोट, एक अष्टकोणीय सेनेटाफ है, जो लगभग 60 फीट ऊंचा है, जिसे कांस्य गुंबद के साथ पहना जाता है। इसे 1847 में भारत के गवर्नर जनरल लॉर्ड एलेनबरो द्वारा 1843 में ग्वालियर युद्ध के दौरान गिराने वाले अधिकारियों

Charming view, peaceful place. U will be able to view a beautiful night scenery of Ganges . There is also a train route named Kolkata circular railway that joins between MAJHERHAT & DUMDUM JUNCTION. The nearest railway station is EDEN GARDEN. No fan is required as there is a gentle blow of GANGA BREEZE even in the moist and warm day of May- June.

This ghat is used mainly for our Hindu religious purposes like Ghat kaaj (this is actually some work done after death in Hinduism which is to be done beside the river Ganges.), our Durga Pratima Bishorjon (Emersion of idols).. etc.. Facilities for changing clothes specially for women and bathroom is there.... This Ghat is neat and clean compared to other Ghats in that locality... Communication with the city is good.. There is very limited bus service but parking is free..

A historic monument situated on the eastern bank of Ganges river (Hoogly) near judges ghat. It was built in 1847. The monument was built in memory of died British officials and soldiers who died fighting Maratha soldiers in late 1843 before The monument was conceptualized by British Governor General Lord Allenborough and Engineer Colonel H. Godwin in 1847. This beautiful memoir is an example of amalgamation of Islamic architecture and Europian style. It has two floors. Stairs are available to reach second floor but remain closed for visitors.

Gwalior ghat is situated opposite of Prinsep ghat. Its open 9 am and close 9:30 pm. You can go there by bus and cab.. You can saw there many taxi they will force to go. But you will not go there. They will charge you high price you have to bargain. You can book ola or uber. Evening is the best time to go there.

One of the best maintained ghat on Strand Road. Caution - anyone wishes to perform Shradh or Ghat kamano Avoid pundits available on the Ghat, who are from neighbouring states, have formed a syndicate and fleece the families who come here to perform rituals. BabooGhat, half a kilometre ahead, pundits though from the same state are relatively better.
