There is only one high court in Ahmedabad, therefore there is no risk of confusion or inaccuracy in this case.
The office here seems to be referred to by location instead of full nomenclature. Perhaps LI assumed that intelligent readers like yourself will gauge that it can only point to the ONE high court of the state that location/city is part of!
Yes, besides you, others too know that a state and not a city has it's own high court!!

The existence of intelligent readers does not provide any legitimacy to LI to use patently false terminology especially when referring to the Courts.

The potential for confusion is irrelevant. Just because there is only one HC in Karnataka, that doesn't provide the author leeway to call it the Bangalore HC. Sigh.
Similarly, there are different ways of describing all sorts of courts or institutions. It is fine to say the "apex court" instead of the "Supreme Court of India", and if it was commonly understood you could also say the "Delhi supreme court", though it would sound a little strange in this case because there is only a single Supreme Court of India, but if you were trying to differentiate it from the Washington one, for example, it could be appropriate.
All good? :)
Best wishes
