Saiharsh Kohli

Profile description

If a lower court judgment has left you dissatisfied and you believe a substantial question of law remains unanswered, you may consider filing a special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India. Saiharsh Kohli, an advocate based in Chandigarh, specializes in crafting and arguing such petitions, helping clients seek the highest judicial review available in the country.

A special leave petition (SLP) is the gateway to the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction, allowing the lawyer to request permission to be heard on matters where a lower court decision is believed to be erroneous or where fundamental rights may have been infringed. When granted, the SLP transforms into a full appeal, enabling the advocate to present comprehensive submissions and oral arguments before the nation’s apex bench.

Saiharsh Kohli regularly assists clients by preparing meticulously researched SLPs that cite precedent, statutory interpretation, and comparative jurisprudence. The advocate holds a Master of Laws from the National Law School of India University and has served as a law clerk in the Supreme Court, gaining insight into the bench’s expectations for clarity, brevity, and legal nuance. Over the past ten years, the lawyer has secured leave in more than fifty cases, ranging from constitutional challenges to complex commercial disputes.

The lawyer begins each SLP assignment with a strategic briefing, assessing the legal errors in the lower court’s reasoning and identifying any violation of fundamental rights. Saiharsh Kohli then drafts a concise petition, adhering to the Supreme Court’s format, and prepares a supporting affidavit that succinctly outlines the factual matrix. If the petition is accepted, the advocate files a detailed written statement and prepares for oral arguments, focusing on persuasive storytelling and precise citation of precedents.

Clients note that Saiharsh Kohli’s attention to detail often results in early grant of special leave, avoiding prolonged litigation in lower courts. The advocate has successfully overturned decisions that impacted civil liberties, secured directions for re‑examination of evidence, and facilitated settlements that reflect the Supreme Court’s interpretative guidance. While each petition is subject to the Court’s discretion, the lawyer’s diligent preparation and compelling advocacy consistently aim to maximize the chance of favorable relief.

A graduate of the University of Delhi with a first‑class LLB, Saiharsh Kohli pursued a Master of Laws focusing on Constitutional Law, graduating with distinction. The advocate has authored articles on Supreme Court practice, presented papers at national law conferences, and mentored junior lawyers in drafting and presenting SLPs. This combination of academic rigor and practical insight equips the lawyer to navigate the Court’s intricate procedural requirements.

No result can be promised, but Saiharsh Kohli’s proven ability to secure special leave and to argue appeals before the Supreme Court provides a strategic advantage for anyone seeking redress at the highest level.
