Raghav Shah

Profile description

You have been convicted in a lower court and believe the judgment was based on an incorrect interpretation of the law. Raghav Shah is a criminal defence lawyer who concentrates on filing criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s expertise lies in identifying legal errors, procedural irregularities, and constitutional violations that justify a review of the High Court or lower court judgment.

A criminal review petition is a powerful remedy when a party feels that the decision of a lower tribunal is fundamentally flawed. Raghav Shah regularly assists clients in preparing comprehensive petitions that outline the specific points of law that were misapplied, the lack of proper evidence evaluation, or the violation of fundamental rights. The lawyer meticulously cites relevant Supreme Court precedents, drafting arguments that persuade the bench to entertain the review and, if warranted, set aside the adverse order.

The lawyer’s strategy begins with a deep dive into the case file, including the trial transcript, evidence logs, and the judgment itself. By pinpointing inconsistencies, such as contradictory statements, ignored forensic reports, or failure to consider mitigating circumstances, the lawyer builds a strong case for review. The lawyer also engages with senior advocates and constitutional scholars to strengthen the petition’s legal footing.

The lawyer’s familiarity with the Supreme Court’s procedural nuances, from filing formats to oral argument etiquette, ensures that each petition is presented in the most effective manner.

The lawyer’s academic credentials include a law degree from a distinguished university and a Post‑Graduate Diploma in Criminal Law. Over the past fourteen years, the lawyer has worked in the chambers of senior judges, gaining insight into the inner workings of the Indian judicial system. This background has honed the lawyer’s ability to anticipate the court’s concerns and tailor arguments accordingly.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s clear communication style.

The lawyer promises diligent preparation, thorough research, and an unwavering commitment to overturning wrongful convictions.
