With the formation of the separate province of Odisha in 1936, Bargarh district was carved out in March 1993 by incorporating the areas of two sub-divisions, Bargarh and Padampur from the erstwhile district of Sambalpur. The judgeship of Bargarh was separated from its parent judgeship Sambalpur with effect from 12th July, 2011, and the Court of District and Sessions Judge started functioning at Bargarh. Twenty Six different courts are functioning in the judgeship with outlying stations at Padampur, Sohela, Barpali, Attabira, Bheden and Bijepur. During the year 2025, various legal awareness programmes were organized on different topics and significant days were observed by DLSA, Bargarh.
