The history of the existing courts of Bangladesh is very old. Different courts prevailed in Bangladesh. The time periods of courts of Bangladesh are Hindu period, Mughal period, British period. However the present study has to explore the historical backgrounds of previous and present courts in Bangladesh. The study was documentary analysis type. Data and information were collected from secondary sources such as Books, Research Reports, case laws, law related Journals, Internet and different websites. From the result it was found that the process of evolution has been partly indigenous and partly foreign. The legal system of the present day comes from a `mixed' system which have structure, legal principles and concepts as model on both Indo-Mughal, English law and Muslim laws."' The Indian sub-continent has a known history of over five hundred years with Hindu and Muslim periods which preceeded the British period. Each of these early periods had a distinctive legal system of its own. The pace of this development it would be convenient to divide the history into five periods- Hindu period, Muslim period, British period, Pakistan period and Bangladesh period.
