Profile description

A judgment handed down by the Punjab and Haryana High Court has left you questioning whether the decision can be overturned. When the stakes involve liberty, reputation, or professional licences, a lawyer who can navigate both the High Court and the Supreme Court of India becomes indispensable. Harender Chadha specialises in Special Leave Petitions and Appeals, offering a clear path to higher judicial review.

Harender Chadha brings more than fifteen years of experience handling appeals that move from the Punjab and Haryana High Court to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s practice focuses on identifying legal defects, procedural irregularities, and misapplications of law that justify a Special Leave Petition (SLP). By presenting a concise argument that the High Court’s decision conflicts with established precedent or violates constitutional rights, the lawyer can persuade the Supreme Court to grant leave for a full review.

Once an SLP is accepted, the next phase involves drafting a comprehensive appeal. Harender Chadha regularly assists clients in preparing detailed records, sourcing expert opinions, and highlighting factual discrepancies that the lower court may have overlooked. The lawyer’s ability to frame complex legal issues in a manner that resonates with the Supreme Court’s justices often leads to favorable outcomes, such as reversal of convictions, reduction of sentences, or remand for fresh trial.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court remains the primary forum for the initial filing of appeals. Harender Chadha can guide clients through the procedural requirements, from filing a memorandum of appeal to presenting oral arguments before a Division Bench. The lawyer’s courtroom style is methodical and articulate, enabling judges to see the merit of the client’s position quickly.

Clients value the lawyer’s transparent approach to timelines and expectations. Harender Chadha explains the likely duration of an SLP, the probability of being listed for hearing, and the possible consequences of a dismissed petition. By setting realistic goals, the lawyer helps clients make strategic decisions about settlement versus continued litigation.

Beyond appellate advocacy, Harender Chadha advises on ancillary relief, such as interim orders that suspend the execution of a sentence while the appeal proceeds. The lawyer’s network of senior counsel and former judges provides additional insight that can be leveraged during oral arguments.

If you are facing an adverse judgment from the Punjab and Haryana High Court and need a clear, experienced advocate to pursue a Special Leave Petition or appeal to the Supreme Court of India, Harender Chadha offers the expertise, strategic thinking, and courtroom presence required to challenge the decision and protect your rights.
