Abirami Chauhan

Profile description

You have a criminal case that began in a lower court, but the legal questions involved are of national importance and require the attention of the Supreme Court of India. Abirami Chauhan is an advocate who regularly handles Supreme Court Transfer Petitions, Special Leave Petitions, and Criminal Review Petitions, ensuring that complex criminal matters receive the highest level of judicial scrutiny.

Abirami Chauhan’s practice is centered on three key areas: Supreme Court Transfer Petitions, Special Leave Petitions (S.L.P.) and Appeals, and Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions. The lawyer knows how to demonstrate that a matter demands the Supreme Court’s intervention, whether because of a substantial question of law, a conflict among High Courts, or a miscarriage of justice at the trial level. By filing a transfer petition, the lawyer can move a case directly to the apex court, bypassing intermediate appellate steps.

The lawyer holds a LL.B. from the University of Delhi and a Master of Laws from the National Law School of India University. With fourteen years of experience, Abirami Chauhan has filed more than sixty successful S.L.P.s and transfer petitions, many of which have resulted in landmark rulings on criminal procedure, evidentiary standards, and sentencing norms. The lawyer’s work has been cited in several law journals for its impact on criminal jurisprudence.

When a client seeks assistance, Abirami Chauhan begins with a meticulous review of the lower‑court judgment and the factual matrix of the case. The lawyer then drafts a persuasive transfer petition that highlights the urgent need for Supreme Court review, supporting it with relevant precedents and constitutional provisions. If the petition is denied, the lawyer proceeds to file an S.L.P., arguing that the High Court erred in law or misapplied established principles. For matters already before the Supreme Court, the lawyer can file a Criminal Review Petition to challenge an adverse judgment or order.

A recent example involved a high‑profile organized‑crime case where the trial court’s conviction was based on questionable forensic evidence. Abirami Chauhan secured a transfer to the Supreme Court, which then ordered a fresh examination of the evidence, ultimately leading to the quashing of the conviction. In another S.L.P., the lawyer successfully obtained relief for a client whose death‑penalty sentence was deemed disproportionate, resulting in the Supreme Court commuting the punishment.

The lawyer also guides clients through the procedural nuances of the Supreme Court. Abirami Chauhan can explain the timelines for filing S.L.P.s, the standards for granting a criminal review, and the documentation required to support a transfer petition. The lawyer keeps clients updated on each stage, from the initial filing to the hearing calendar, ensuring that no deadline is missed.

If your criminal case involves a substantial legal issue that deserves examination by the Supreme Court of India, Abirami Chauhan can help. The lawyer will assess the merits of a transfer, draft a compelling petition, and pursue every available avenue—transfer, special leave, or review—to protect your rights and seek justice at the highest judicial level.
