Ishani Chadha handles Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) in serious offence matters and Supreme Court criminal review petitions, focusing exclusively on the Supreme Court of India. With more than a decade of experience before the apex court, the advocate has turned numerous adverse judgments into favourable outcomes for clients across the country.

An SLP is a rare opportunity to challenge a High Court decision on substantial questions of law or grave miscarriage of justice. Ishani Chadja meticulously reviews the trial record, identifies legal errors, and drafts compelling petitions that argue why the Supreme Court should intervene. The lawyer regularly assists clients in framing issues that cut to the heart of constitutional rights, evidentiary standards, and procedural fairness.

Operating solely in the Supreme Court of India, Ishani Chadja is intimately familiar with the court’s procedural calendar, the expectations of its justices, and the nuances of its bench composition. The advocate leverages this knowledge to file petitions within strict timelines, present oral arguments with precision, and respond swiftly to any interim orders.
