Girish Dixit

Profile description

When a serious offence leads to a conviction you know that the fight does not end with a trial verdict. Girish Dixit focuses on Special Leave Petitions and Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions, and can help you challenge adverse judgments before the Supreme Court of India.

Dixit explains the slim but powerful avenue that a Special Leave Petition (SLP) provides. He shows how the Supreme Court can re‑examine the facts, the law, and the procedure of a lower court decision. By preparing a compelling SLP, he can draw the Court’s attention to misapplications of law, evidentiary errors, or constitutional violations that merit a review.

Educated at the National Law School of Delhi, Dixit earned both a B.A.L.L. and an LL.M. in Criminal Law. After clearing the All India Bar Examination, he spent eight years as a junior advocate under a senior who handled high‑profile criminal appeals. For the last ten years he has operated his own practice, handling more than a hundred SLPs and criminal review petitions, many of which have resulted in the Supreme Court setting aside convictions or ordering fresh trials.

Dixit’s approach begins with a detailed audit of the trial record. He identifies procedural lapses, misinterpretation of statutory provisions, or violations of the accused’s right to a fair trial. He then drafts a concise, fact‑driven petition that highlights the most persuasive grounds for relief. Throughout the hearing, he presents clear oral arguments, anticipates the bench’s concerns, and references precedent that supports his client’s case.

Recent achievements include an SLP that overturned a death‑penalty conviction on the basis of a faulty forensic report, and a criminal review petition that secured a stay of execution for a prisoner whose confession was later proved coerced. Clients commend his calm demeanor, his ability to demystify complex legal procedures, and his determination to pursue every viable legal remedy.

If your case involves a serious offence and you need a lawyer who knows how to navigate the Supreme Court’s review process, Dixit offers the expertise, courtroom experience, and strategic insight required to seek justice at the highest level.
