Arjan Sangwan

Profile description

Imagine you have just received a conviction that you believe is based on a misinterpretation of evidence. You are told that the Supreme Court may be the only forum that can correct the error. This is where Arjan Sangwan enters as a dedicated lawyer specializing in Special Leave Petitions and Supreme Court criminal review petitions. Their focus is on guiding clients through the rigorous process of seeking the highest judicial scrutiny for criminal matters.

Arjan regularly assists individuals who need to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) to obtain the Supreme Court’s permission to review a lower‑court decision. The lawyer evaluates whether the case presents a substantial question of law, a violation of constitutional rights, or a grave procedural flaw. By preparing a precise petition supported by relevant precedent, Arjan aims to convince the bench that the case merits extraordinary attention. Their recent success includes an SLP that led the Supreme Court to set aside an erroneous conviction for financial fraud, ordering a fresh trial.

If the Supreme Court declines the SLP, Arjan can move to a criminal review petition. This remedy is reserved for exceptional circumstances, such as newly discovered evidence or a clear miscarriage of justice. The lawyer’s skill lies in condensing complex facts into a succinct review petition that highlights the urgency and public interest involved. Past review petitions handled by Arjan have resulted in the Court modifying harsh sentences, granting relief on grounds of mental health considerations, and directing authorities to reinvestigate key witnesses.

Arjan’s academic credentials feature a first‑class law degree from a nationally recognized institution, followed by a postgraduate specialization in criminal law. Over fourteen years of practice before the Supreme Court have forged a reputation for strategic thinking and persuasive advocacy. Early work as a research assistant to senior advocates sharpened their ability to dissect judgments and uncover nuanced legal arguments. Peers commend Arjan for a calm courtroom demeanor and an ability to translate intricate legal concepts into client‑friendly language.

Clients choosing Arjan can expect a lawyer who will explain the entire Supreme Court process in plain terms, outline the potential costs, and keep them updated at each procedural milestone. The lawyer’s commitment includes thorough fact‑checking, comprehensive legal research, and a transparent billing approach. While no outcome is guaranteed, Arjan’s portfolio of case victories—ranging from sentence reductions to complete acquittals—demonstrates a proven capacity to secure meaningful relief at the apex of India’s judiciary. The lawyer’s guiding principle is to protect the client’s rights and pursue justice with diligence and integrity.
