Representation Before the Supreme Court of India
Legal assistance in matters requiring consideration by the Supreme Court of India, including Special Leave Petitions, Transfer Petitions, Writ Petitions and other appellate and constitutional proceedings.
Legal Representation at the Supreme Court Level
The Supreme Court of India exercises appellate, constitutional and other jurisdiction conferred upon it by the Constitution and applicable laws.
Matters before the Supreme Court often involve complex questions of law, procedural requirements and careful preparation of pleadings and supporting documents.
Saral Legal Solutions provides legal assistance in appropriate Supreme Court and constitutional matters, including preparation, drafting and representation.
OUR SUPREME COURT SERVICES
01 — SPECIAL LEAVE PETITIONS
Special Leave to Appeal under Article 136
Article 136 of the Constitution of India confers upon the Supreme Court the power to grant special leave to appeal from judgments, decrees, determinations, sentences or orders passed or made by courts or tribunals in India, subject to the constitutional limitations.
A Special Leave Petition may provide a route to approach the Supreme Court against an order or judgment where the circumstances of the matter warrant invoking the jurisdiction of the Court.
Assistance may include:
- Assessment of the order or judgment
- Examination of the legal issues involved
- Preparation of the case strategy
- Drafting of the Special Leave Petition
- Preparation of supporting applications and documents
- Assistance with the filing process
- Representation in the proceedings
Your earlier website specifically described SLP jurisdiction under Article 136 and explained that the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction extends to judgments, decrees, determinations, sentences and orders of courts and tribunals, subject to the constitutional exception relating to Armed Forces tribunals.
02 — TRANSFER PETITIONS
Seeking Transfer of Proceedings
A Transfer Petition is an application seeking transfer of a case from one court or place to another.
Transfer petitions may arise in both civil and criminal proceedings. The appropriate higher court having jurisdiction over the relevant courts may be approached for transfer, depending upon the circumstances of the matter.
Transfer petitions are frequently encountered in matrimonial and family disputes, although they are not restricted to such cases.
Assistance may include:
- Examination of the circumstances requiring transfer
- Identification of the appropriate forum
- Drafting of the Transfer Petition
- Supporting applications and documents
- Representation in transfer proceedings
03 — WRIT PETITIONS
Constitutional Remedies Before the Supreme Court and High Courts
Writ jurisdiction provides an important constitutional remedy in appropriate cases.
The Supreme Court exercises writ jurisdiction under Article 32, particularly in relation to enforcement of fundamental rights. High Courts exercise writ jurisdiction under Article 226, along with their jurisdiction under Article 227 as applicable.
The principal constitutional writs are:
Habeas Corpus
Mandamus
Prohibition
Certiorari
Quo Warranto
Your previous material explains the distinction between the Supreme Court’s Article 32 jurisdiction and the broader Article 226 jurisdiction of High Courts, and identifies the five traditional writs.
Assistance may include:
- Assessment of the constitutional or legal issue
- Identification of the appropriate remedy
- Drafting of writ petitions
- Preparation of supporting applications
- Representation before the appropriate court
04 — CIVIL APPEALS & OTHER SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS
Appellate Representation
The Supreme Court may be approached in civil matters through the appellate mechanisms provided under the Constitution and applicable legislation.
Depending upon the nature of the matter and the order challenged, the appropriate appellate remedy may need to be examined.
Your earlier material specifically notes the statutory route for civil appeals to the Supreme Court and the constitutional route under Article 136 where the relevant requirements for the statutory appeal are not available.
Assistance may include:
- Examination of the impugned judgment or order
- Identification of the appropriate appellate remedy
- Drafting of appellate proceedings
- Supporting applications
- Preparation and filing assistance
- Representation before the Supreme Court
When Should You Consider Approaching the Supreme Court?
Not every adverse order requires an immediate approach to the Supreme Court. The appropriate remedy depends upon the nature of the order, the jurisdiction involved, the applicable statutory provisions and the facts and legal issues arising in the matter.
Before proceeding, it is therefore useful to have the judgment or order, relevant pleadings and important documents examined to determine the available legal course.
