Special Leave Petition Lawyers
A Special Leave Petition is a constitutional remedy under Article 136 of the Constitution of India through which a party may seek special leave to appeal against a judgment, decree, determination, sentence or order passed by a court or tribunal.
Our advocates assist clients in evaluating the legal issues involved and preparing appropriate proceedings before the Supreme Court, depending on the facts and circumstances of the case.
SLP Under Article 136
Article 136 confers a discretionary power on the Supreme Court to grant special leave to appeal against specified judgments, decrees, determinations, sentences or orders.
An SLP is not an ordinary appeal as of right. The petition must set out appropriate legal grounds and comply with the applicable procedural requirements of the Supreme Court.

Grounds for Special Leave Petition
The grounds raised in an SLP depend upon the facts and legal issues involved in the particular case.
Potential grounds may concern questions of law, jurisdictional issues, procedural irregularities, interpretation of statutory provisions, constitutional issues or other legal errors that may warrant consideration by the Supreme Court.
The appropriate grounds must be determined after reviewing the complete record and impugned judgment or order.
SLP Admission & Preliminary Proceedings
After filing, the matter may be considered by the Supreme Court at the appropriate stage. The Court may examine whether the matter warrants the exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 136.
Our advocates assist clients with the preparation and presentation of the case at the relevant stage of the proceedings.
Interim Relief & Stay in SLP Matters
In appropriate cases, parties may seek interim relief or stay of the operation or implementation of the impugned judgment or order.
Applications for interim relief must be supported by appropriate facts and legal grounds, and the grant of relief remains subject to the Court's consideration.
SLP Conversion into Appeal
Where the Supreme Court grants special leave, the matter proceeds in accordance with the applicable appellate procedure.
Our lawyers assist clients with the subsequent proceedings arising from the grant of special leave, including preparation for the appeal and related applications.
SLP Against Final & Interim Orders
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, SLP proceedings may arise in relation to different types of judicial or tribunal orders.
Before initiating proceedings, the nature of the order, available remedies, limitation requirements and other procedural considerations should be examined carefully.
