Court holidays 2026
Andhra Pradesh district courts holidays 2026
Every closed day of 2026 for the district courts of Andhra Pradesh, from the court's own calendar, with its source and a file for your phone.
This is the 2026 holiday calendar of the district courts of Andhra Pradesh, transcribed from the court's own published calendar (linked under Sources, with the date it was read). It lists 24 closed days and 3 vacation periods; unknown. Sundays are not listed. A matter in Pundora that sits in this court follows this calendar automatically: the deadline arithmetic, the evening digest and the holiday notice all read it.
Add it to your phone. Download the calendar file (.ics) and open it; every closed day appears in your own calendar app, with the court's notification as its source. Forward the file to the chamber. Dates are as the court printed them; a court may notify a change during the year, and this page carries the date it was last checked.
Next closed days
- Mon 19 October 2026 — Durgastami
- Tue 20 October 2026 — Maharnavami
- Wed 21 October 2026 — Vijayadasami / Dussehra

What the court's own calendar says
High Court of Andhra Pradesh notification ROC.No.800/SO/2025 of 25 November 2025 (a scan, read at 0.98-0.99 certainty): vacations, general holidays and optional holidays for the District Judiciary, tribunals and labour courts. Vacations: Sankranthi 12-16 January; summer 11 May to 12 June for District Courts and Civil Judges (Senior Division) — the Junior Division's begins 18 May; Dussehra 22-23 October. The optional holidays (Part III) are NOT loaded. Moon-dependent dates may change.
Which courts follow this calendar
The district courts of Andhra Pradesh. District courts follow their state's High Court unless the High Court publishes a separate district list; where it does, that list is a separate page here. If your matter's court is not on this list, see the index for what is loaded and what is not.
Questions advocates ask
Do the courts in the Andhra Pradesh district courts calendar sit on Saturdays?
Unknown. Sundays are always closed.
Do district courts follow the same holidays as the High Court?
Only where the High Court has not published a separate list for the district judiciary. Where it has, Pundora keeps the district list as its own calendar, because a holiday in the High Court is not always a holiday in a district court and the other way round.
What does "vacation" mean in this table?
A run of days on which the court's regular benches do not sit. Vacation benches may hear urgent matters, and the Registry may work; a deadline that falls in a vacation is governed by the court's own rules and the Limitation Act, not by this table.
How does Pundora use this calendar?
A matter carries its court's calendar. The deadline arithmetic skips closed days where the rule allows it, the previous-evening WhatsApp digest says when tomorrow is a court holiday, and the Deadlines tab shows which calendar the matter is reading and lets the advocate change it.
