Ishani Sankhla

Profile description

A serious criminal conviction can feel like an insurmountable obstacle, but the Supreme Court of India provides a narrow window for relief through Special Leave Petitions and Criminal Review Petitions. Ishani Sankhla concentrates on these two avenues, offering clients a clear path to challenge adverse decisions from lower courts.

When a client contacts Ishani Sankhla, the lawyer first examines the trial court’s judgment for any legal flaw—misapplication of law, denial of due process, or reliance on inadmissible evidence. By identifying such errors, the lawyer can craft a Special Leave Petition that captures the Supreme Court’s attention, arguing why the case deserves extraordinary review. The lawyer’s experience in drafting concise, precedent‑rich petitions increases the likelihood that the bench will grant a hearing.

If the Supreme Court has already issued an order that the client finds unjust, Ishani Sankhla can file a Criminal Review Petition. The lawyer reviews the prior Supreme Court order, isolates any procedural irregularities or substantive mistakes, and prepares a petition that asks the Court to revisit its own decision. This service often results in modification or setting aside of the original order, providing a crucial second chance for the client.

Throughout both processes, Ishani Sankhla explains each procedural step in plain language, outlines realistic timelines and advises on the preparation of supporting documents. The lawyer coordinates with lower‑court advocates, gathers expert testimonies and ensures that all statutory requirements—such as filing within strict deadlines—are met. By managing these details, the lawyer reduces the client’s burden and keeps the focus on building a strong legal argument.

Clients repeatedly note the lawyer’s calm demeanor, thorough preparation and ability to demystify the Supreme Court’s complex procedures. If you are confronting a serious criminal conviction and need an advocate who can navigate Special Leave Petitions or Criminal Review Petitions with confidence, Ishani Sankhla can explain your options, develop a compelling case and pursue the best possible outcome at the highest judicial forum in India.
