Deepak Chauhan

Profile description

When a criminal matter reaches an impasse in the lower courts, you may need to approach the Supreme Court of India to seek relief beyond the jurisdiction of the High Court.
Deepak Chauhan brings a comprehensive skill set that covers Supreme Court transfer petitions, special leave petitions, and criminal review petitions, offering a single point of contact for complex appellate strategy.

Deepak earned his LL.B. from the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi and completed a Master of Laws in Criminal Justice at the National Academy of Legal Studies.
Over the past fifteen years he has served as a research scholar for leading judges, then moved into practice at a premier firm that handles Supreme Court filings.
His portfolio includes more than forty transfer petitions, twenty‑four special leave petitions, and a dozen criminal review petitions, giving him a nuanced understanding of the Court’s procedural thresholds and substantive expectations.

A transfer petition asks the Supreme Court to take over a case that rightfully belongs to another High Court or to shift a matter to a different judicial forum for reasons of jurisdiction, public interest, or conflicting judgments.
Deepak evaluates the strategic benefits of a transfer, identifies jurisdictional anomalies, and drafts petitions that succinctly frame the legal questions needing the Supreme Court’s attention.
His recent success in transferring a high‑profile corruption case to the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction resulted in a full‑bench hearing that clarified the ambit of investigative powers, demonstrating his ability to shape the forum in which a dispute is resolved.

Special leave petitions (SLPs) are the gateway for parties to challenge decisions of the High Courts or other tribunals when no other appeal is available.
Deepak can help you determine whether your case presents a substantial question of law of national importance that warrants the Supreme Court’s intervention.
He meticulously prepares SLPs that combine detailed factual narratives with precise legal arguments, often citing recent Supreme Court judgments to underscore the relevance of the issue.
In a landmark SLP concerning cyber‑crime legislation, his petition persuaded the Court to set aside the lower court’s interpretation, leading to a landmark ruling that has guided subsequent jurisprudence.

Criminal review petitions are a narrow but powerful remedy that allows the Supreme Court to examine whether a lower court committed a grave error that undermines the administration of justice.
Deepak’s expertise in this arena includes identifying procedural defects, evidentiary oversights, and violations of constitutional safeguards.
One notable review petition he handled led the Court to quash a death‑penalty order on the basis of insufficient proof, illustrating his capacity to secure life‑saving relief through meticulous legal scrutiny.

Deepak’s approach combines aggressive advocacy with transparent client communication.
At the outset he outlines the legal pathways available, prepares a realistic timeline, and keeps you updated on each filing and hearing.
He promises thorough research, clear drafting, and a relentless pursuit of the most effective remedy—whether that is a transfer, an SLP, or a criminal review.
While outcomes cannot be guaranteed, his extensive track record and strategic insight maximize the probability of a favorable order from the Supreme Court of India.

If your criminal case demands the attention of the nation’s highest court—whether to shift jurisdiction, to obtain leave to appeal, or to challenge a lower‑court order—Deepak Chauhan offers the depth of experience and tactical acumen required to navigate the Supreme Court’s complex procedural landscape.
His dedication to detailed preparation, strategic argumentation, and client‑focused service makes him a trusted advocate for anyone seeking justice at the apex of India’s judicial system.
