Kinjal Dwivedi

Profile description

When a serious criminal conviction threatens your freedom, you may wonder whether the Supreme Court can intervene. Kinjal Dwivedi handles Special Leave Petitions and criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court of India, offering a pathway to challenge harsh verdicts.

Kinjal Dwivedi earned a distinguished law degree and completed a doctorate in criminal jurisprudence. The lawyer spent fifteen years in the district courts of Chandigarh, handling complex criminal matters before moving to Supreme Court practice. The lawyer also pursued a fellowship in constitutional law, sharpening the ability to argue fundamental rights issues that often arise in serious offence cases. The lawyer also completed a certification in forensic data analysis, enhancing the ability to dissect complex evidence.

A Special Leave Petition (SLP) is the primary mechanism for seeking Supreme Court review of any criminal judgment. The lawyer evaluates whether the case involves a substantial question of law, a grave miscarriage of justice or a violation of constitutional safeguards. Kinjal Dwivedi regularly assists clients in determining the merit of filing an SLP, preparing a precise petition that cites the most relevant precedents and statutory provisions. The lawyer can also file interim applications for bail or stay of execution, ensuring safety while the petition is pending.

In addition to SLPs, the lawyer works on criminal review petitions, which address procedural defects, evidentiary errors or newly discovered facts that could affect the verdict. The lawyer conducts a forensic audit of trial transcripts, forensic reports and investigative files, then drafts a petition that highlights the core legal deficiencies. By focusing on the strongest points of law, the lawyer increases the likelihood that the Supreme Court will grant leave to hear the matter.

The lawyer’s experience includes several landmark SLPs that resulted in the Supreme Court overturning death‑penalty sentences, granting fresh trials, or clarifying legal standards for evidence admissibility. In one notable case, the lawyer secured the release of a client convicted of a serious offence after demonstrating that the police had fabricated crucial evidence. The Supreme Court set aside the conviction and ordered a comprehensive inquiry into the investigative agency. The lawyer’s advocacy has earned commendations from the Supreme Court Bar Association for excellence in constitutional argument.

Kinjal Dwivedi’s preparation is meticulous. The lawyer meets with clients early to collect all documents, engages forensic analysts to reassess scientific evidence, and coordinates with senior advocates who have a strong record before the Supreme Court bench. The lawyer also rehearses oral arguments, ensuring a confident and persuasive presentation during the hearing.

Clients value the lawyer’s clear communication and realistic outlook. The lawyer explains the timeline for SLPs and review petitions, outlines possible outcomes and advises on interim relief options, such as staying the execution of a sentence. Regular status reports keep the client informed and reduce anxiety during the long litigation process.
