Lakshita Murmu

Profile description

You have been arrested on a serious charge and the trial outcome feels unfair. In that moment, you need a lawyer who can take the fight beyond the trial court and present your case before the highest bench in the country. Lakshita Murmu steps in at that critical juncture. With a focus on Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) in serious offence cases and Criminal Review Petitions before the Supreme Court of India, Lakshita brings a precise, results‑driven approach to every petition she files.

Lakshita’s practice revolves around crafting SLPs that persuade the Supreme Court to review convictions that carry life imprisonment or death sentences. She studies the trial record meticulously, identifies any legal errors, and frames arguments that highlight violations of constitutional rights or procedural lapses. Her ability to synthesize complex evidential matrices into clear legal questions has led to numerous bench‑marks where the Supreme Court has set aside or altered lower‑court judgments. She regularly assists clients in navigating the strict procedural timeline for filing SLPs and ensures that every document meets the exacting standards of the apex court.

Educated at a premier law institute, Lakshita earned a distinction in Criminal Law and later completed a postgraduate diploma in Constitutional Law. Over the past twelve years she has served as an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court before moving her practice to the Supreme Court arena. During that period she has handled more than two hundred SLPs, achieving a success rate that consistently exceeds industry averages. Clients praise her calm demeanor, thorough preparation, and ability to explain intricate legal concepts without jargon.

When you consult Lakshita, she begins by reviewing the trial transcript, police statements, and forensic reports. She then advises on the strongest grounds for a review—be it misapplication of law, denial of a fair trial, or new evidence that could change the verdict. Her courtroom advocacy is complemented by a strategic filing plan that aligns with the Supreme Court’s evolving jurisprudence on serious offences. She can help you understand how a Criminal Review Petition differs from an SLP, and when each is appropriate for your situation.

Choosing Lakshita Murmu means placing your case in the hands of a lawyer who has a proven track record of overturning harsh convictions at the national level. Her depth of knowledge, combined with a compassionate client‑focused style, ensures that you are not only represented but also fully informed throughout the appellate journey. With her on your side, you gain a realistic chance of securing a more favorable outcome, whether that is a reduction of sentence, a acquittal, or a directive for a fresh trial.
