The name Tinsukia is derived from ‘Tinikonia’, which means triangular. There is a triangular tank (pukhuri) in Tinsukia, and the town is called ‘Tinsukia’ in Assamese. Previously, it was the kingdom of Motok Raja Sarbananda Singh and was known as ‘Bangmara’ village. The establishment of several tea gardens and coal mining led to its development. A railway line, called the Dibru-Sadiya Railway, was laid by the British company Assam Railways & Trading Co. Ltd. The railway passed through the township, and the station near the historical pukhuri was named TINSUKIA or TINISUKIA. This occurred around 1904 or 1905.
The town continued to grow as it was surrounded by tea gardens. With the discovery of oil and the establishment of the country’s first oil refinery at Digboi, Tinsukia’s growth accelerated. The first tea garden in Assam, “Chabua,” is also nearby. Major tea gardens like “Powai,” now owned by Tata, are located in the present Tinsukia district. Initially part of the Lakhimpur District, Tinsukia became a Sub-Divisional Headquarters under the Dima Hasao District in 1973. In 1989, it was declared a separate district with three sub-divisions: Tinsukia, Margherita, and Sadiya.
Before 1976, all judicial courts operated from Dima Hasao, despite Tinsukia being declared a sub-division in 1973. Judicial history began in Tinsukia in December 1975 with the establishment of the Court of the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) and the Court of the Munsiff. The workload necessitated more courts, leading to the establishment of the Court of the Assistant District & Sessions Judge in 1986.
Tinsukia gained independent district status in 1989. The Court of District & Sessions Judge was established in 1992, with Mr. P N. Sharma as the first District & Sessions Judge. The Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) was established in 1990, with Mr. B.C. Medhi as the first CJM. Two Fast Track Courts were established in 2000-2001. Notable figures like Mr. B.D. Agarwal, who served as District & Sessions Judge and later became a judge of the Gauhati High Court, and Mr. Safiqul Haque, former Acting Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court, hail from Tinsukia.
Presently, the judiciary in Tinsukia comprises:
- District & Sessions Judge
- Two Fast Track Courts
- Assistant District & Sessions Judge
- Chief Judicial Magistrate
- Additional CJM
- SDJM
- Two Munsiffs
- Second Class Judicial Magistrate
