  In fact, the entire Madras High Court Campus is officially called as High Court Buildings. The Department of Posts and Telegraph, Government of India has setup a separate Post Office exclusively for the High Court Buildings alone by name High Court Buildings Post Office with exclusive PIN Code 600104.
  
  Hence, officially the address for any of the Offices situated within the Madras High Court Campus is always mentioned as "High Court Buildings, Chennai, Tamilnadu 600104" only, and certainly not 'High Court Road, Parrys, George Town', as mentioned in the Google Maps.
  
  In fact, 'High Court Road, Parrys, George Town, etc', as mentioned in the Google Maps is nothing to do with any of the Offices situated within the High Court Buildings, in any manner. Since, 'Parrys, George Town' comes under Pincode 600001, the same has nothing to do with High Court Buildings which has a separate PIN Code 600104.
