British colonists preferred to choose Suri as the district headquarters of Birbhum, probably owing to convenience of transport and communication. Suri was well-connected to many places via road, however, it is not possible to tell about the conditions of those roads clearly. These roads can be traced in James Rennel's map of the 'Jungleterry District'(1779).[6] After the defeat of Siraj ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, the British placed many puppet-kings in his place. When Mir Quasim was the Nawab, he ordered all the zamindars (landlords) to pay more revenue. At this, the ruler of Rajnagar, Asad Jama Khan disagreed. In December 1760, the army of the Nawab and the British marched together to attack Birbhum. Asad Jama Khan also got prepared with a cavalry of about 5,000 soldiers, and an infantry of nearly 20,000. In the battle, Asad Jama Khan was defeated and his zamindari was snatched. He took shelter amidst the very dense woods of Chotanagpur. There he had a clandestine meeting with a Maratha army general, Shivabhatta, and Shivabhatta joined him with a cavalry of two to three thousand soldiers as well as a large infantry. Another battle was fought near Kariddhya in 1763 in which he was defeated again. Thus, the British got the control of Suri.[6] During the early years of the British rule, Bishnupur and Birbhum was administered from Murshidabad.

Everyone is busy on their own job but still they're helpful. I noticed that Lawyer Mr. Amit Dutta,he is one of the honest person from my eye site because he charge a person only Rs. 100 instead of Rs. 500.... as he noticed that one of client family member is not well so return back the money, just take a single 100Rs note. And I really appreciate that.

Service is more or less good.It is one of the oldest court which was established in the year 1868 during British period.Place is very dirty and untidy. There is no seating arrangement. It requires maintenance and regular sweeping. Not well accommodated office.

All are well place ... And a new experience ...

I never been at court? only ecxept for examination purposes. And never wish to go there. However this is a very old establishment since British time. Located at Old Bus Stop, Suri infront of DM Office (Prashasan Bhawan).
