Sakshi Bajwa

Profile description

If a lower court has delivered a conviction that you believe was reached on legal error or procedural unfairness, you may consider filing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court of India. Sakshi Bajwa, an advocate with extensive experience in Supreme Court criminal review petitions, guides clients through this complex appellate process. She focuses on identifying grounds that warrant the Supreme Court’s intervention, such as violation of constitutional rights, misinterpretation of law, or abuse of discretion. Sakshi’s strategic approach aims to secure relief that can overturn or substantially modify the original judgment.

An SLP is a discretionary remedy that the Supreme Court grants only when it believes a substantial question of law or a grave injustice exists. Sakshi conducts a rigorous analysis of the trial record, highlighting procedural lapses, evidentiary gaps, and misapplications of statutory provisions. She drafts petitions that weave relevant Supreme Court precedents with a clear narrative of the injustice suffered. By presenting concise arguments supported by authoritative citations, she increases the likelihood that the Court will grant special leave and set the case for full review.

When a conviction has already been affirmed, a criminal review petition offers a final avenue to challenge the judgment on grounds such as violation of fundamental rights or procedural defect that escaped earlier scrutiny. Sakshi’s expertise lies in pinpointing these specific deficiencies and framing them within the Supreme Court’s stringent standards for review. She prepares comprehensive annexures, submits precise relief prayers, and argues persuasively before the bench. Her meticulous attention to detail has resulted in several landmark decisions where the Court has set aside or modified adverse orders.

Sakshi Bajwa earned her law degree from the National Law University, Bangalore, and completed a postgraduate diploma in Constitutional Law. She has been practising before the Supreme Court for over a decade, handling a wide range of criminal matters that require high‑level appellate intervention. Her portfolio includes SLPs that have led to the reversal of death‑penalty judgments, as well as review petitions that secured compensation for unlawful detention. Senior judges routinely cite her submissions for their clarity and depth, and her peers regard her as a leading authority on Supreme Court criminal reviews.

Sakshi believes that a clear understanding of the appellate process empowers clients. She breaks down the complex procedural steps of filing an SLP or a review petition into simple stages, explains the probable timelines, and outlines the costs involved without hidden surprises. Regular updates keep clients informed of each hearing and any judicial orders that may affect the strategy. Her calm demeanor in court and her rigorous preparation have earned praise from clients who appreciate both the legal acumen and the personal support throughout a stressful legal battle.

Every criminal conviction carries profound personal and professional consequences, and Sakshi crafts a defence plan that reflects the unique facts of each case while aligning with your goals, whether that means a full overturn, a reduction of the sentence, or a strategic settlement.
