Prashant Bajwa

Profile description

A conviction in a criminal case can have lasting repercussions, and when you believe the judgment is flawed, you may need to approach the Supreme Court of India for a higher review. Prashant Bajwa is a seasoned advocate who regularly assists clients with Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) and Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions, offering a pathway to challenge adverse decisions.

Prashant’s practice centres on two key services. The first involves preparing SLPs that request the Supreme Court’s discretionary review of a High Court or lower court judgment. The lawyer carefully analyses the trial record to identify legal errors, violations of constitutional rights, or misapplication of precedent. By drafting a focused petition that pinpoints the critical issues and backs them with recent Supreme Court rulings, Prashant can convince the bench to grant leave and set the matter for detailed examination.

The second service is the filing of Criminal Review Petitions, which allow the Supreme Court to reconsider its own orders or those of subordinate courts when there is a claim of miscarriage of justice, new evidence, or procedural irregularity. Prashant’s expertise lies in presenting fresh material in a compelling manner, demonstrating how the existing verdict conflicts with the law or factual reality. In several notable cases, the advocate has secured quashing of convictions, reduction of sentences, or remand of matters for fresh trial.

Clients value Prashant’s clear communication style. During the initial meeting, the lawyer outlines the procedural steps, explains the high standard for obtaining Supreme Court leave, and provides an honest assessment of the case’s prospects. Throughout the litigation, Prashant delivers regular updates, prepares the client for potential oral arguments, and offers strategic advice on how to present the strongest narrative before the justices.

Beyond courtroom advocacy, Prashant stays abreast of evolving Supreme Court jurisprudence on criminal law, ensuring that each petition reflects the latest legal developments. The advocate’s meticulous research includes reviewing recent judgments, extracting relevant dicta, and tailoring arguments to align with the Court’s current interpretative trends. Prashant also maintains professional rapport with senior judges, facilitating efficient scheduling of hearings and fostering a respectful courtroom environment.

If you have received an unfavorable criminal judgment and believe it merits Supreme Court scrutiny, Prashant Bajwa can evaluate the merits, draft a precise Special Leave Petition or Criminal Review Petition, and argue your case before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s extensive experience, diligent preparation, and unwavering commitment to client rights make Prashant a trustworthy ally for navigating the nation’s highest judicial arena.
