Profile description

If you have been convicted in a lower court and believe the judgment was flawed, you may need to approach the Supreme Court of India for a second chance. Mehran Chauhan is a seasoned lawyer who focuses on Special Leave Petitions and Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions. With more than fifteen years of experience in constitutional and criminal law, Chauhan has built a reputation for turning complex legal hurdles into workable strategies.

Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) are the gateway for any party seeking the Supreme Court’s intervention. Chauhan regularly assists clients in drafting meticulous SLPs that meet the stringent standards of the court. The lawyer’s background includes a Master of Laws from the National Law University, Delhi, and a long tenure as a junior advocate under a senior Supreme Court practitioner. This foundation enables Chauhan to identify the precise legal questions that merit the court’s attention and to present them with clarity and authority. In several recent cases, the lawyer secured the grant of special leave where lower courts had dismissed appeals, allowing the matter to be examined afresh.

When a criminal conviction raises questions of legal error, procedural lapse, or miscarriage of justice, a Criminal Review Petition can be the decisive tool. Chauhan has handled dozens of such petitions at the Supreme Court, often navigating intricate procedural requirements while focusing on the substantive merits of the case. The lawyer’s approach combines thorough factual investigation with incisive legal research, ensuring that each petition highlights the most compelling grounds for review. Clients have reported that Chauhan’s ability to simplify technical issues into understandable arguments gives them confidence during a stressful period.

Beyond filing petitions, the lawyer is skilled in oral advocacy before the nation’s highest bench. Chauhan prepares succinct submissions, anticipates judges’ concerns, and responds with poise. The lawyer’s courtroom record includes several landmark decisions that have clarified the scope of criminal law and set precedents for future cases. For example, a recent review petition led to the Supreme Court quashing an unlawful forensic report, resulting in the client’s acquittal after years of false imprisonment.

Chauhan’s practice is client‑centered. The lawyer conducts comprehensive case reviews, explains the realistic chances of success, and outlines a step‑by‑step roadmap. Regular updates keep clients informed, and the lawyer is known for maintaining confidentiality and integrity throughout. Whether you need an SLP to challenge a conviction, a criminal review petition to address a procedural flaw, or strategic advice on navigating the Supreme Court’s procedures, Chauhan can guide you through every stage.

In addition to courtroom work, the lawyer contributes articles on criminal jurisprudence to leading legal journals and conducts seminars for junior lawyers. This engagement reflects a commitment to staying at the forefront of legal developments and to sharing knowledge with the broader legal community.
