Jinal Srivastava

Profile description

You have been handed a criminal order from a lower court and believe the decision was fundamentally flawed. In that situation, a lawyer who knows the Supreme Court’s review process can make a decisive difference. Jinal Srivastava provides precisely that expertise. Specialising in Supreme Court transfer petitions, special leave petitions, and criminal review petitions, Jinal Srivastava regularly assists clients who need the nation’s highest court to re‑examine a judgment.

A transfer petition to the Supreme Court is a rare but powerful remedy when a case involves questions of jurisdiction or national importance. Jinal Srivastava can explain when a transfer is appropriate, prepares the necessary documentation, and argues persuasively before the bench. The lawyer’s track record includes successful transfers that have allowed clients to benefit from the Supreme Court’s broader perspective and higher standards of review.

When a lower‑court decision appears unjust, filing a special leave petition (SLP) is often the only way to seek relief. Jinal Srivastava is adept at identifying the precise legal errors—whether they involve misapplication of law, denial of natural justice, or procedural irregularities—and framing them in a concise, compelling petition. The lawyer’s drafts have convinced the justices to grant leave, opening the door for a full hearing on the merits.

Criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court are another area where Jinal Srivastava excels. These petitions challenge the legality of a criminal order, such as an acquittal, conviction, or sentence, on grounds that the lower court exceeded its authority or ignored essential evidence. By conducting exhaustive legal research and presenting clear, well‑structured arguments, Jinal Srivastava has secured several landmark rulings that have overturned erroneous orders and restored clients’ rights.

Jinal Srivastava holds an LL.B. from a top national university and an LL.M. with a focus on Constitutional and Criminal Law. A decade of experience includes a clerkship at the Supreme Court of India, where the lawyer observed the inner workings of the highest judicial processes. Subsequent practice at a premier law firm sharpened drafting and oral advocacy skills, leading to an independent practice that handles the most challenging criminal matters.

The lawyer prepares comprehensive case files, anticipates counter‑arguments, and offers realistic expectations about timelines and possible outcomes. By staying current with the latest Supreme Court judgments, Jinal Srivastava ensures that every petition reflects the most recent legal developments.
