Best Supreme Court SLP Lawyer consultation

Urgency & Access-Focused

Timing really matters with Special Leave Petitions.

Once a High Court delivers its final judgment, the clock starts ticking. Most people have only 90 days to file a Special Leave Petition, and in some situations, even less. Waiting too long can close the door or force you to explain the delay in detail, which isn’t always easy to do successfully.

VakeelSaab SLP advocates pay close attention to deadlines from day one. We’ll quickly review your order, tell you how much time you actually have left, and help you decide on your next realistic step.

Support-Focused

Filing an appeal is not just about submitting a document - it involves careful preparation at every step.

Here’s what we usually handle for clients:

• Carefully reading the High Court or tribunal order to see whether it fits what the Supreme Court normally looks at under Article 136
• Explaining the process in plain language so nothing feels confusing
• Drafting the petition and preparing the complete set of documents that the Supreme Court expects
• Making sure everything is filed correctly and on time as per the Supreme Court Rules
• Appearing at the admission hearing (and later stages if leave is granted)

Our Supreme Court SLP lawyer stays in touch, so you always know where your matter stands. Our call center is open for questions at any time (day or night) because we know legal worries don’t follow office hours.

We’re also building an app that will eventually let people check basic information about Supreme Court procedures, track important dates, and get quick answers to common SLP questions more easily.

High Court Order You Want Challenged?

You’ve received a High Court judgment (or maybe an order from a tribunal), and you feel strongly that something has gone seriously wrong.

Common situations where people come to us include:

• The order seems to have made a clear legal mistake on an important point of law
• The decision feels like it has caused a major injustice
• Your fundamental rights appear to have been seriously affected
• The High Court refused to give a certificate to appeal directly to the Supreme Court

That said, the Supreme Court does not take up every case. It only steps in when there’s something exceptional - a substantial question of law, a grave miscarriage of justice, or a situation that really needs the apex court’s attention.

We’ll give you an honest assessment after reviewing the judgment, just clear reasoning about whether a Special Leave Petition makes sense in your particular matter.

Key Aspects of SLPs

Here are the most important things to understand about Special Leave Petitions under Article 136.

Scope

Article 136(1) says:

“Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter, the Supreme Court may, in its discretion, grant special leave to appeal from any judgment, decree, determination, sentence or order in any cause or matter passed or made by any court or tribunal in the territory of India.”

This is very wide. It covers judgments from High Courts, decisions from tribunals, and orders from many other judicial or quasi-judicial bodies - civil cases, criminal cases, and more.

Limitations

Even though the power is broad, it is purely discretionary.

The Supreme Court does not treat SLP as a regular right of appeal. It usually grants leave only when there is:

• a substantial question of law of general importance, or
• a clear case of grave injustice or serious miscarriage of justice.

The Court rarely re-examines facts or acts like a normal first or second appeal court.

Exclusions

Article 136(2) clearly says:

“Nothing in clause (1) shall apply to any judgment, determination, sentence or order passed or made by any court or tribunal constituted by or under any law relating to the Armed Forces.”

So Special Leave Petition cannot be filed against orders passed by military courts or tribunals dealing with armed forces matters.

Timelines

• Special Leave Petition against a final High Court judgment/order: usually within 90 days from the date of the judgment
• SLP against an order refusing a certificate of fitness: usually within 60 days
• If you’re late, you must file an application for condonation of delay + a supporting affidavit explaining every day of delay

The Supreme Court takes these time limits seriously, though it sometimes condones genuine delays when the explanation is satisfactory. Starting early avoids most problems.
