Aarthi Bajwa

Profile description

When a lower court decision leaves you facing an unjust conviction or an excessive sentence, the only avenue for a final review may lie with the Supreme Court of India. Aarthi Bajwa is a seasoned criminal advocate who regularly assists clients in Chandigarh seeking relief through special leave petitions and criminal review petitions before the nation’s highest bench. With a deep familiarity of Supreme Court practice, Bajwa crafts arguments that focus on legal errors, violation of fundamental rights, and the need for uniform interpretation of criminal law.

An SLP is a discretionary remedy that allows the Supreme Court to examine any judgment, decree, or order passed by a High Court if it involves a substantial question of law or a grave miscarriage of justice. Bajwa initiates the process by meticulously reviewing the trial record, identifying lapses such as improper admission of evidence, misapplication of sections of the Indian Penal Code, or denial of the right to a fair trial. The advocate then prepares a concise petition that highlights these legal infirmities, cites relevant precedents, and demonstrates how a stay or reversal would uphold the constitutional guarantee of justice. By presenting a clear and compelling case, Bajwa increases the likelihood that the Supreme Court will grant special leave and schedule a hearing.

In addition to SLPs, the Supreme Court entertains criminal review petitions that scrutinize the legality of orders passed by lower courts, especially when a conviction appears to contravene constitutional safeguards. Bajwa has successfully filed review petitions challenging the interpretation of sections related to dowry death, homicide, and cyber‑offences, securing stays that prevent execution of sentences pending a full hearing. The advocate also handles direct appeals from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, focusing on appellate jurisdiction to correct factual misapprehensions and procedural irregularities. By linking each grievance to a broader principle of justice, Bajwa persuades the bench that intervention is necessary to maintain the integrity of the criminal justice system.

Having practiced before the Supreme Court for more than a decade, Bajwa blends rigorous legal research with strategic advocacy. The advocate routinely collaborates with senior Supreme Court practitioners and former judges to refine arguments and anticipate the bench’s line of inquiry. Comprehensive case law analysis, coupled with precise drafting, ensures that each petition conforms to the Court’s procedural norms while emphasizing the public interest dimension of the case. Bajwa’s track record includes several instances where the Supreme Court has overturned harsh punishments, clarified ambiguous statutes, and reinforced the protection of individual liberties, thereby setting precedents that benefit future litigants.

If a conviction or sentence feels unfair, you deserve a final chance for judicial review. Aarthi Bajwa offers a focused, results‑oriented approach that leverages deep knowledge of Supreme Court procedures and a passion for safeguarding constitutional rights. The advocate’s meticulous preparation, persuasive writing, and courtroom confidence aim to secure stays, reversals, or amendments that restore justice. A confidential consultation in Chandigarh can clarify whether a special leave petition or criminal review petition is the appropriate path and outline a clear timeline for action. With Bajwa’s expertise, you gain a champion who will fight at the highest level to protect your freedom and uphold the rule of law.
