Mukul Juneja

Profile description

A criminal conviction has been upheld and you believe the Supreme Court should review the decision. Mukul Juneja can help you file a special leave petition or a criminal review petition before the Supreme Court of India.

Mukul Juneja is a distinguished criminal lawyer who has spent more than two decades working on appellate matters before the Supreme Court. The lawyer’s practice centres on special leave petitions, which request the Court’s permission to hear an appeal, and criminal review petitions that seek to correct a grave miscarriage of justice after a final order has been issued.

Special leave petitions require a precise articulation of why the Supreme Court should intervene. Mukul Juneja examines the trial record, identifies legal errors, misinterpretations of precedent, or breaches of constitutional rights, and crafts a concise petition that highlights these points. The lawyer’s deep familiarity with the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence enables the presentation of compelling arguments that align the case with the Court’s evolving standards.

When a final judgment has already been rendered, a criminal review petition becomes the avenue for relief. The lawyer investigates whether the judgment was affected by procedural irregularities, lack of jurisdiction, or a violation of fundamental rights that the Supreme Court can rectify. Mukul Juneja has successfully secured reviews that resulted in the setting aside of convictions, the granting of fresh trials, or the modification of onerous sentences.

Clients describe the lawyer’s approach as strategic and thorough. The lawyer conducts an exhaustive audit of case documents, engages expert consultants when needed, and prepares supporting annexures that meet the Supreme Court’s strict filing requirements. In one high‑profile case, the lawyer’s special leave petition led the Supreme Court to suspend a death‑penalty sentence pending a full hearing, ultimately resulting in the sentence’s commutation.

Mukul Juneja also provides realistic counsel on the likelihood of obtaining leave and the expected timeline. The lawyer explains how the Supreme Court’s limited docket influences the chances of acceptance and prepares the client for the possibility of a short order dismissing the petition. Yet, the lawyer’s reputation for persuasive drafting has resulted in leave being granted in a significant number of challenging cases.

During the consultation, you can expect a clear breakdown of the legal issues, an outline of the petition‑filing process, and an honest assessment of potential outcomes. The lawyer will keep you informed at each stage, from drafting and filing to oral arguments before the bench. With a focus on securing the highest level of judicial review, Mukul Juneja combines extensive Supreme Court experience with a client‑centred approach to protect your rights and pursue the justice you deserve.
