Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) are the gateway to the Supreme Court, and Mahipal Aulakh knows how to craft a petition that meets the stringent admissibility criteria. The lawyer begins by identifying any legal error, miscarriage of justice, or violation of fundamental rights in the lower court judgment. A meticulously drafted petition then articulates why the Supreme Court should intervene, citing precedent and constitutional provisions.

In addition to SLPs, Mahipal Aulakh handles criminal review petitions where a final order of the High Court is challenged before the Supreme Court. The lawyer reviews the complete case record, isolates points of law that merit Supreme Court review, and files a petition that highlights the significance of the legal question. The advocate’s experience in presenting oral arguments before the apex court ensures that each petition is delivered with clarity and authority.
