Profile description

When a lower court judgment seems to disregard legal principles or cause a grave injustice, many clients turn to the apex court for a chance to correct the error. A Special Leave Petition or a Criminal Review Petition before the Supreme Court of India can provide that opportunity, but navigating the complex procedural landscape requires a seasoned advocate. Aravindan Rathore is a dedicated lawyer who regularly assists litigants seeking Supreme Court intervention on criminal matters.

Aravindan earned a first‑class law degree from the University of Delhi and later completed a postgraduate diploma in constitutional law at the National Law School of India University. Over the past fourteen years, they have focused exclusively on appellate advocacy before the Supreme Court, honing a deep understanding of its jurisprudence and bench composition. This specialization enables the lawyer to identify precisely when a Special Leave Petition is likely to be entertained and how to frame the legal questions for maximum impact.

Special Leave Petitions are discretionary, and the Supreme Court admits only those that raise substantial questions of law or merit. Aravindan begins by scrutinizing the trial record, identifying any misapplication of statutory provisions, procedural defects, or violation of fundamental rights. They then draft a concise petition that isolates the core issue, cites leading precedents, and presents compelling arguments that the case merits the Court’s attention. By focusing on recent landmark rulings, the lawyer can persuade the bench to grant leave, opening the path to a full hearing.

Criminal Review Petitions offer another avenue for relief when a final order appears unsound. Aravindan prepares these petitions by highlighting errors such as lack of evidence, improper appreciation of facts, or procedural non‑compliance that undermine the verdict. The lawyer also prepares comprehensive annexures, including certified copies of the judgment, relevant statutes, and expert opinions, ensuring the Court receives a complete picture. In several recent matters, the lawyer secured a reversal of convictions that had been based on questionable forensic reports, restoring liberty to clients who had been wrongly incarcerated.

In addition, they have obtained criminal review relief in over sixty instances, often leading to the Supreme Court setting aside lower‑court orders and remanding cases for fresh consideration.
