Shayan Kulkarni has handled dozens of these applications, drafting precise grounds and assembling supporting material that satisfies the stringent standards of the apex court. The advocate’s experience includes navigating the High Court’s initial filing requirements, obtaining stay orders, and presenting compelling arguments before Supreme Court judges.

Working primarily in Chandigarh, the lawyer is intimately familiar with the workings of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This knowledge speeds up the preparation of the petition, helps anticipate objections from the trial court, and secures timely relief. Once the petition reaches the Supreme Court, Shayan Kulkarni leverages a network of senior counsel and former judges to frame the case in a manner that highlights constitutional issues, jurisdictional defects, or procedural irregularities.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s methodical approach. The first meeting focuses on gathering the complete case file, reviewing the trial court record, and identifying any prejudicial factors that justify a transfer. Shayan Kulkarni then outlines a realistic timetable, explains the costs involved, and prepares the client for possible outcomes at both the High Court and Supreme Court stages.
