Profile description

If a conviction from a lower court has turned your life upside‑down and you believe the decision contains a material error, you need a professional who can persuade the nation’s highest bench to revisit the case. Chirag Sankhla is a seasoned lawyer who specializes in filing Special Leave Petitions and handling Appeals before the Supreme Court of India. With a focus on criminal matters, this advocate knows how to frame complex legal questions that compel the Court to grant a hearing.

Special Leave Petitions are the gateway to the Supreme Court when all other remedies have been exhausted. Sankhla regularly assists clients in drafting petitions that meet the stringent criteria of relevance and public importance. By pinpointing procedural lapses, misinterpretations of law, or disparities in evidence, the lawyer creates a compelling narrative that convinces the Court to lift the stay of lower‑court orders. In recent years, Sankhla has successfully obtained leave in a dozen high‑profile cases involving murder, financial fraud, and organized‑crime charges.

Once leave is granted, the next step is to present a robust appeal. Sankhla’s experience in appellate advocacy includes meticulous analysis of trial transcripts, strategic use of precedent, and persuasive oral submissions. The lawyer has a track record of reversing convictions, reducing sentences, and even securing acquittals at the Supreme Court level. By focusing on constitutional safeguards and statutory interpretations, the advocate ensures that every argument aligns with the Court’s evolving jurisprudence.

Criminal Review Petitions are another powerful tool that Sankhla employs when a conviction appears to rest on a legal flaw that escaped earlier scrutiny. This practice area requires an in‑depth understanding of criminal procedure, evidentiary standards, and the nuances of Supreme Court criminal review jurisdiction. The lawyer has helped clients obtain quash orders, stay executions, and reopen investigations that were previously considered closed.

Education and experience underpin Sankhla’s capability. The advocate holds a Master of Laws from a leading university and has spent over fifteen years practicing before the Supreme Court. During this time, the lawyer served as a research associate for a renowned judicial institute, sharpening analytical skills and staying abreast of recent judgments.
