Manjunath Bora

Profile description

Your conviction has been upheld by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and you believe that a higher authority must intervene to correct a fundamental error. Manjunath Bora focuses on Special Leave Petitions and Appeals as well as Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions, guiding clients through the nation’s most critical legal avenues.

Bora completed a rigorous law programme and has accumulated over eighteen years of courtroom experience, split between the High Court in Chandigarh and the Supreme Court of India. Early work as an assistant to senior advocates on complex criminal matters provided a solid foundation in appellate practice. Over the past decade, Bora has independently filed and argued numerous Special Leave Petitions that resulted in substantial relief, including remission of sentences and outright acquittal on points of law.

A Special Leave Petition (SLP) is a discretionary remedy that allows the Supreme Court to examine a case when a substantial question of law arises. Bora assesses whether the High Court’s judgment overlooked precedent, misapplied a statute, or ignored essential facts. By preparing a concise yet powerful petition, Bora presents the bench with a clear narrative that demonstrates why the Supreme Court’s intervention is warranted. The lawyer’s familiarity with the Supreme Court’s docket and procedural expectations ensures that the petition meets the exacting standards required for acceptance.

Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions serve a similar purpose but are filed when the Supreme Court itself needs to re‑examine its own earlier order or when a grave miscarriage of justice is evident. Bora can help clients understand the narrow window in which such petitions are entertained and craft arguments that highlight procedural flaws, evidentiary gaps, or contradictions in earlier rulings. The lawyer’s track record includes several successful reviews where convictions were set aside, wrongful imprisonments ended, and reputations restored.

Clients often express relief at Bora’s clear communication style. The advocate explains the lengthy timeline associated with Supreme Court proceedings, outlines the possible outcomes—from full exoneration to reduction of penalties—and keeps families informed of each filing and hearing. Bora’s meticulous preparation of supporting documents, affidavits, and legal precedents positions the petition for maximum impact.

If you suspect that a legal error at the High Court level has jeopardized your liberty, a Special Leave Petition or a Supreme Court Criminal Review Petition may be the appropriate next step. Manjunath Bora can evaluate the merits of your case, devise a strategic approach, and represent you before the apex court with conviction. A confidential discussion will reveal how an experienced advocate can champion your cause at the highest judicial forum.
