Profile description

A criminal conviction has been upheld by the High Court, but you believe the legal reasoning is fundamentally flawed and the case deserves a review by the nation’s apex court. Rohan Dalal specialises in taking such matters to the Supreme Court of India through Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) and Appeals, as well as handling Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions that challenge the finality of lower‑court judgments.

Rohan Dalal earned a first‑class LL.B from the University of Delhi and later completed a Master of Laws in Criminal Law at Symbiosis Law School. Over fifteen years of practice, the lawyer has appeared regularly before the Supreme Court of India, gaining a deep understanding of its procedural nuances and substantive criminal jurisprudence. Rohan Dalal regularly assists clients who have exhausted all remedies in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and now require a fresh perspective from the country’s highest judicial authority.

A Special Leave Petition is an extraordinary remedy that allows the Supreme Court to review a decision of any lower court if it involves a substantial question of law or a gross miscarriage of justice. Rohan Dalal can explain why an SLP is appropriate, draft a concise petition that highlights the legal infirmities, and cite leading Supreme Court precedents that support intervention. In parallel, the lawyer handles Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions, which focus on revisiting the legal correctness of a final criminal order, such as a conviction, sentence, or acquittal, when a serious error is alleged.

The lawyer’s typical workflow begins with a meticulous audit of the entire case file, including the judgment, evidentiary record, and prior pleadings. Rohan Dalal identifies the precise points where law was misapplied or facts were misconstrued, then crafts a compelling narrative that demonstrates why the Supreme Court’s intervention is warranted. The lawyer files the petition, ensures compliance with the Supreme Court’s strict filing timelines, and prepares for oral arguments that often decide the fate of the petition.

Clients have praised the lawyer’s strategic clarity and tenacity. Rohan Dalal has secured the overturning of wrongful convictions, obtained reductions in severe sentences, and achieved stays on execution orders while the Supreme Court considered the merits of the petition. Each success rests on a combination of rigorous legal research, persuasive writing, and confident advocacy before the apex bench.

The lawyer’s approach is client‑centric. Rohan Dalal explains the high‑level expectations of a Supreme Court review, outlines possible outcomes, and keeps clients informed at every stage. The lawyer also advises on the practical implications of a pending Supreme Court petition, such as the effect on bail status, travel restrictions, and the ability to resume professional duties.

If a lower‑court decision has left you with an unresolved grievance that threatens your freedom or livelihood, seeking a specialist who can navigate the complexities of SLPs and Criminal Review Petitions at the Supreme Court of India is essential. Rohan Dalal offers a focused, high‑impact service designed to correct judicial errors and restore justice at the highest level.
