Profile description

When a criminal conviction in a lower court threatens to ruin your future, the final opportunity to seek relief lies with a Special Leave Petition or a Criminal Review Petition before the Supreme Court of India. Ishani Chadha is a proactive advocate who has dedicated her practice to securing such high‑level remedies for clients in Chandigarh.

Ishani Chadha completed her LLB from the University of Delhi and earned a Master of Laws focusing on constitutional criminal law from NALSAR University of Law. Over the past thirteen years she has filed more than sixty Special Leave Petitions, achieving favorable outcomes in a majority of them. Her in‑depth knowledge of Supreme Court jurisprudence allows her to pinpoint the precise legal missteps that justify appellate intervention.

A Special Leave Petition is a discretionary remedy that the Supreme Court grants only when it perceives a substantial question of law or a grave miscarriage of justice. Ishani Chadha meticulously drafts each petition to meet the court’s exacting standards, presenting a succinct statement of facts, relevant statutes, and persuasive precedents. She regularly assists clients in gathering case files, preparing affidavits, and ensuring strict compliance with filing deadlines.

When a final order contains procedural flaws or erroneous interpretation of evidence, a Criminal Review Petition can compel the Supreme Court to reassess the case. Ishani Chadha has successfully filed reviews that resulted in the quashing of convictions, reduction of sentences, or issuance of stays pending fresh trials. She explains the narrow window for filing, prepares a concise memorandum, and argues convincingly why the lower‑court decision warrants reconsideration.

Clients who retain Ishani Chadha benefit from her clear, step‑by‑step updates throughout the appellate process. She provides realistic assessments of the chances of success while exploring every viable legal avenue. Her transparent approach reduces anxiety and enables clients to make informed decisions at each critical juncture.

Her track record includes a landmark case where she secured the overturning of a life‑imprisonment sentence on the ground that the trial court failed to consider key forensic evidence. In another matter, she obtained a stay of execution for a client accused of financial fraud, allowing time for a comprehensive review that ultimately cleared the accused.

In addition to filing petitions, Ishani Chadha represents clients during oral hearings, prepares supplementary affidavits, and assists with related applications such as curative petitions and transfer petitions. Her collaboration with senior advocates at the Supreme Court adds strategic depth to her arguments, especially in complex criminal matters.

Former clients praise her ability to translate dense legal concepts into understandable language and to keep them informed at every stage. They commend her persistence, her strategic use of precedent, and her unwavering focus on protecting their freedom. This client‑centric reputation has earned her high satisfaction ratings in the Chandigarh legal community.

If you are ready to challenge a criminal conviction at the highest judicial level, Ishani Chadha can turn your case facts into a compelling Supreme Court petition that seeks justice and the protection of your liberty. Partnering with her means receiving a focused, diligent defence that strives for the most favorable outcome.
