Harsh Krishnamurthy has spent over fifteen years mastering the art of Supreme Court practice.

Among notable achievements, Harsh Krishnamurthy secured a stay of execution for a client on death‑row while a review petition was examined, and successfully obtained an acquittal for a client whose conviction relied on unlawfully obtained evidence.
