Aravindan Mohanty regularly assists clients who have exhausted all remedies in lower courts but believe a fundamental error persists in the judgment. He prepares a criminal review petition that asks the Supreme Court to examine whether the lower court exercised its jurisdiction correctly, misapplied statutory provisions, or violated constitutional safeguards. His submissions meticulously reference relevant statutes, previous Supreme Court pronouncements, and any new evidence that may have been overlooked. In recent years, several of his petitions have resulted in the Supreme Court setting aside convictions that were based on coerced confessions or procedural irregularities, thereby restoring the client’s liberty and reputation.

In addition to Supreme Court filings, Aravindan handles criminal review matters before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where he can seek interim relief or a full re‑examination of the case facts. He often leverages the High Court’s power to stay execution of a sentence while a review petition is pending, buying crucial time for his clients to organize defenses or negotiate settlements. His dual focus allows him to coordinate strategies across both jurisdictions, ensuring that arguments presented at the High Court align with the broader constitutional issues raised before the Supreme Court. This integrated approach has proven effective in complex cases involving multiple charges and procedural mishaps.
