Tanushree Balasubramanian

Profile description

If you have been convicted by a session court and the judgment seems to ignore crucial evidence, you may need to challenge it before a higher authority. Tanushree Balasubramanian is a dedicated lawyer who focuses on taking criminal matters to both the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and, when necessary, to the Supreme Court of India through Special Leave Petitions. The lawyer’s thorough approach and clear communication have helped numerous clients seek a fair reassessment of their cases.

Special Leave Petitions serve as the gateway for any party to request the Supreme Court’s intervention after a decision of a lower court. Balasubramanian examines the trial record, identifies legal errors, and drafts a concise petition that highlights why the apex court should intervene. The lawyer also prepares supporting documents, such as annexures and reference judgments, to strengthen the petition. By aligning the petition with the Court’s established criteria, the lawyer improves the odds that leave will be granted and the matter will be examined on its merits.

In parallel, the lawyer handles appeals that are filed directly in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The High Court has jurisdiction to hear appeals against sentences passed by subordinate courts within its territorial area. Balasubramanian has extensive experience preparing comprehensive appeal records, framing precise grounds of challenge, and citing relevant statutes and precedents. The lawyer’s familiarity with the High Court’s procedural rules ensures that the appeal is filed within prescribed timelines and that all necessary documents are properly authenticated.

When a matter moves to the Supreme Court after an appeal at the High Court, the lawyer seamlessly transitions the case to a Special Leave Petition. The lawyer coordinates with the client to gather any additional evidence that may have emerged during the High Court proceedings, and incorporates those facts into the petition to demonstrate a fresh perspective. Regular oral advocacy sessions at both courts enable the lawyer to refine arguments, anticipate questions from the bench, and deliver clear, impactful submissions.

Balasubramanian’s track record includes successful reversals of convictions where evidentiary lapses were identified, reductions of sentences that were disproportionate, and dismissals of charges that rested on procedural defects. Clients often commend the lawyer for explaining each procedural step in simple language, which helps them stay informed and confident throughout the litigation. The lawyer’s commitment to exhaustive research and strategic filing has earned a reputation for achieving positive outcomes even in complex criminal matters.

If you are facing a criminal conviction and believe the judgment contains errors that merit review, Balasubramanian can evaluate the merits of filing an appeal in the Punjab and Haryana High Court or pursuing a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court. The lawyer offers an initial case assessment, outlines possible strategies, and sets realistic expectations. With a blend of legal knowledge, experience in both courts, and persuasive advocacy, the lawyer aims to secure the justice you deserve.
