Answer:
Few of the consequences of having two separate high courts are as follows:

Because of having two high courts separation of cases are mainatined properly and judges can be appointed based on their speciality.
As two separate courts are there civil cases which are lighter in nature won't need to wait a lot to get hearing dates and will be processed faster.
Separate kidn of law and punishment can be mainatined as we have separate courts to handle it.
One of the downside of having two courts are redundant jobs will be created which can eat up tax payers money.
Sometime cases which seems to fall under civil boundary gets converted to criminal boundary, in this case it has to be fought separately at two places which is inefficient.
If a person is charged with both criminal and civil offense for same crime he/she has to higher two lawyers and all to handle this case. Which is inefficient.
