Supreme Court & High Court Litigation
Special leave petitions, writs, appeals and transfer petitions before the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court.
Litigation before the Supreme Court of India and the High Courts covers appeals, special leave petitions under Article 136, writ petitions under Articles 32 and 226, transfer petitions, and challenges to orders of tribunals and lower courts.
The firm's court practice is anchored in the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court of India, with panel counsel appearances in the Patna High Court. We prepare and argue special leave petitions, civil and criminal appeals, writ petitions and transfer petitions, and we brief senior counsel where a matter calls for it.
Appellate work is about the record. Our research team, led by a litigation research head, works through the trial record, the impugned judgment and the authorities before a petition is settled, so that the grounds raised are the ones that can actually succeed.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to file a special leave petition in the Supreme Court?
An SLP against a High Court judgment should be filed within 90 days of the judgment (60 days where a certificate of fitness was refused). Preparing the petition, annexures and the required affidavits typically takes one to three weeks once the certified copy is in hand, so the certified copy should be applied for immediately.
Can a matter be filed directly in the Supreme Court?
Only in limited situations: a writ under Article 32 for enforcement of fundamental rights, original suits between governments, or transfer petitions. Most matters reach the Supreme Court on appeal or by special leave from a High Court or tribunal order.
Do you appear in High Courts outside Delhi?
Yes. The firm is panel counsel in the Patna High Court and appears in other High Courts on instruction, often alongside local counsel.
