Affordable, Strategic And Experienced Representation (25+ Years In Supreme Court Practice)
Many litigants believe that once a High Court or Tribunal passes an order, the case is finished forever.
In reality, the Constitution of India gives one last powerful remedy—Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court of India under Article 136.
However, the Supreme Court is not another regular appeal court.
It is a court of extraordinary jurisdiction.
Only properly prepared and legally structured SLPs are admitted.
This is where experience matters more than anything else.

What This Article Will Help You Understand
If you are considering filing an SLP, this article will help you understand:
- Whether your case qualifies
- How the Supreme Court actually examines SLPs
- Common mistakes that lead to dismissal
- Cost-effective filing strategies
- Timeline and chances of success
- And most importantly — how to approach it intelligently instead of emotionally.
What Is a Special Leave Petition?
A Special Leave Petition (SLP) is not a normal appeal.
It is a constitutional request asking the Supreme Court:
“Please intervene because grave injustice has occurred and no other remedy exists.”
The Court grants leave only when it finds:
- Serious legal error
- Violation of natural justice
- Misinterpretation of law
- Jurisdictional mistake
- Gross perversity in judgment
- Public importance question of law
The Court does NOT interfere merely because:
- You lost the case
- Evidence was appreciated differently
- Another view is possible
That is why more than 80% SLPs fail at admission stage — not because the client is wrong, but because the petition is badly drafted.

Limitation Period (Very Important)
| Case Type | Time Limit |
|---|---|
| From High Court Judgment | 90 days |
| From Review Rejection | 60 days |
| Delay Possible? | Yes — but must be justified |
Delay is one of the biggest reasons for dismissal.
A properly drafted condonation application often saves a case.
How the Supreme Court Actually Decides Admission
The Court does NOT re-hear your full case initially.
It examines only:
- Question of law involved
- Legal perversity in judgment
- Constitutional or legal importance
- Misapplication of binding precedent
- Procedural injustice
If satisfied → Notice issued
If not → SLP dismissed in 2–3 minutes
That is why drafting is everything.
Most Common Mistakes People Make
- Copy-paste appeals from High Court
The Supreme Court rejects narrative arguments. - Emotional drafting
Courts respond to law, not personal hardship. - Missing legal question framing
Without substantial question of law — no admission. - Filing through inexperienced drafting agents
This leads to immediate dismissal. - Not highlighting perversity
The Court interferes only when findings are legally impossible.
What I Personally Focus On in Every SLP
After 25+ years of practice, I follow a structured strategy:
Step 1 — Judgment Dissection
Not summary reading — microscopic legal analysis.
Step 2 — Identify Interference Grounds
- Jurisdictional error
- Ignored evidence
- Wrong legal test applied
- Precedents ignored
Step 3 — Frame Constitutional Question
This is the heart of admission.
Step 4 — Draft Concise Petition
Supreme Court prefers precision, not volume.
Step 5 — Effective Oral Mentioning
Admission depends heavily on how the matter is presented.
Chances of Success — Honest Assessment
| Case Type | Typical Admission Probability |
|---|---|
| Pure facts dispute | Low |
| Legal interpretation error | Moderate |
| Jurisdictional illegality | High |
| Violation of natural justice | Very High |
| Constitutional question | Strong |
I do NOT encourage filing hopeless SLPs — saving the client’s money is also part of honest advocacy.
Affordable Filing — Yes, It Is Possible
Many people think Supreme Court litigation is only for corporations.
That is incorrect.
With Proper Planning
- Paperwork structured properly
- Avoid unnecessary hearings
- Avoid defective filings
- Avoid repeated listing
The overall cost becomes manageable.
I specifically assist individual litigants who have genuine cases but limited financial capacity.
Documents Required From You
Send on WhatsApp:
- High Court / Tribunal order
- Previous court orders
- Pleadings (petition & reply)
- Evidence documents (if relevant)
- Case timeline (brief)
I personally examine and advise whether filing is worthwhile.
Why Experience Matters in SLP
| Court Level | Primary Focus |
|---|---|
| In trial courts | facts matter. |
| In High Court | arguments matter. |
| In Supreme Court | legal framing matters. |
The difference between dismissal and notice often lies in:
- One paragraph
- One legal ground
- One precedent
That comes only from long-term courtroom exposure — not theoretical drafting.
