With a focus on special leave petitions and criminal review petitions, she understands the pressure of a tight timeline and the emotional toll a criminal case can take. Her practice in Chandigarh equips her with a clear view of how Supreme Court jurisprudence impacts cases that originate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Special Leave Petitions are the gateway for a Supreme Court to examine whether a lower‑court decision involved a substantial error of law. Yazhini Tripathi has handled dozens of such petitions, turning complex legal arguments into concise submissions that catch the attention of the justices.

Her ability to distill technical details into persuasive narratives has secured several landmark dismissals of convictions and reductions of sentences, giving clients a renewed chance at freedom.

Criminal Review Petitions allow a convicted person to ask the Supreme Court to re‑examine a judgment when fresh evidence or a violation of procedural safeguards emerges. Yazhini Tripathi excels at gathering new forensic reports, witness affidavits, and expert opinions that were unavailable during the original trial. She then structures a review petition that highlights how the oversight undermines the fairness of the conviction. By presenting the case before a panel of senior justices, she has obtained quashings of illegally obtained evidence and orders for retrial in multiple instances. Her strategic use of review petitions often changes the trajectory of a case that seemed irrevocably closed.
