Harikrishnan Batra

Harikrishnan Batra focuses exclusively on Special Leave Petitions and Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions, guiding clients through the intricate process of appealing to the nation’s highest bench.

When a client believes that a lower‑court judgment is flawed due to legal error, misinterpretation of evidence or violation of constitutional rights, a Special Leave Petition (SLP) can be filed.
