When you engage Prashant Chatterjee, the first step is a detailed case assessment. The lawyer reviews the trial record, the judgment of the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, and any interim orders that affect your rights.

The lawyer then prepares the petition, supporting affidavits, and annexures, ensuring that each document complies with the Supreme Court Rules. Throughout the filing stage, the lawyer maintains clear communication, explaining the timeline for the court’s consideration and the possible outcomes, whether the petition is dismissed or referred for a full hearing.

If the Supreme Court accepts the petition, the matter proceeds to the appeal stage.
