Ritu Basu earned a law degree from Panjab University and completed a postgraduate diploma in criminal law from the National Law School of India University. Over the past fifteen years, they have built a reputation for meticulous preparation of revision petitions and vigorous defence in sexual offence cases. Their approach begins with a detailed review of trial records, identifying procedural errors, evidential gaps, or misapplications of law that form the basis for a successful revision. In sexual offence defences, Ritu combines thorough factual investigation with sensitive client counselling, ensuring that every piece of forensic evidence, witness statement, and medical report is examined for admissibility and relevance. By coordinating with forensic experts and senior investigators, they frequently secure reductions in charges or complete dismissals where the prosecution’s case lacks solid foundation.

They have prepared and filed special leave petitions that led to the Supreme Court granting relief, often directing the lower court to re‑examine evidence under corrected legal standards. This dual‑court competence enables clients to have a seamless transition from high‑court advocacy to the nation’s apex court without losing momentum.
