Tanvi Chauhan

Profile description

Imagine receiving a judgment from a lower court that threatens to overturn a hard‑won business contract or to impose a harsh criminal sentence. Tanvi Chauhan appears at that critical juncture, ready to mount a challenge before the Supreme Court of India. Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) are the gateway to the nation’s highest bench, and the lawyer’s focused practice in this arena makes the difference between acceptance of a loss and a decisive reversal.

Special Leave Petitions require precise framing of legal errors, jurisdictional oversights, or substantial questions of law. Tanvi Chauhan can help you draft a petition that cuts through procedural clutter and highlights the core injustice. Over a decade of handling SLPs, the lawyer has filed more than eighty petitions, achieving relief in roughly sixty percent of cases. Successes include overturning a wrongful land acquisition order, securing the reinstatement of a professional licence, and halting an unlawful death‑penalty sentence. The lawyer’s familiarity with Supreme Court precedents enables the identification of persuasive authorities that reinforce a client’s position.

When an SLP is dismissed, the next step is a direct appeal on the merits of the case. Tanvi Chauhan regularly assists clients in converting an SLP denial into a full‑scale appeal, structuring arguments that address the Court’s prior observations while introducing fresh evidence where permissible. The lawyer’s track record features landmark appeals that have reshaped tax law interpretations, refined criminal procedure standards, and clarified constitutional rights. By coordinating with senior counsel and leveraging a network of expert witnesses, the lawyer ensures that each appeal presents a compelling narrative that resonates with the bench.

The lawyer’s workflow begins with an intensive factual review, followed by rigorous legal research that maps every relevant precedent. Drafting is performed in clear, issue‑focused language, reducing the risk of the Court dismissing the petition for lack of clarity. When oral arguments are scheduled, Tanvi Chauhan can articulate the crux of the case within the limited time allotted, responding dynamically to the justices’ queries. Clients appreciate the transparent updates, the detailed briefing documents that explain procedural milestones, and the strategic guidance on settlement possibilities even while the appeal proceeds.

Tanvi Chauhan holds an LLB from Delhi University and an LLM with distinction in Constitutional Law from the National Academy of Legal Studies. Early clerkships with senior judges of the Supreme Court provided an inside view of the Court’s decision‑making process. The lawyer earned the “Young Jurist of the Year” award from the Indian Bar Council in 2021 and regularly contributes articles on appellate strategy to leading law reviews. Client testimonials highlight the lawyer’s calm composure, analytical depth and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Engaging Tanvi Chauhan means gaining a partner who can explain the complexities of a Special Leave Petition, anticipate the Court’s concerns, and fight tirelessly to protect your rights at the apex of the Indian judicial system.
