Vihaan Basu

Profile description

Imagine you have been ordered to appear before the Supreme Court of India because a lower court’s decision feels unjust, or you need a transfer of a criminal matter to a more appropriate jurisdiction. Vihaan Basu, a Chandigarh lawyer, focuses on Supreme Court Transfer Petitions and Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) with appeals that shape the final direction of a case. Over the past twelve years, Vihaan has cultivated an intricate understanding of Supreme Court practice, filing hundreds of successful transfer applications and appeals that have redirected cases to courts where the facts could be heard more fairly.

A Transfer Petition is used when the original forum is unsuitable due to jurisdictional constraints, evidentiary challenges, or potential bias. Vihaan can help you assess whether a transfer is justified, prepare a persuasive petition, and present a concise oral argument before the Supreme Court’s bench. His approach blends exhaustive legal research with strategic framing of the issues, ensuring the petition aligns with the Court’s procedural expectations.

Special Leave Petitions are the gateway for a party seeking to overturn an adverse judgment from a High Court or a tribunal. Vihaan regularly assists clients by drafting SLPs that pinpoint errors of law, procedural lapses, or misinterpretations of evidence. He has a track record of convincing the Supreme Court to grant leave in complex criminal matters, allowing his clients to obtain a definitive, high‑level review.

In each appeal, Vihaan emphasizes meticulous preparation. He gathers every relevant document, secures expert opinions where needed, and structures his submissions for maximum impact. Clients often commend his ability to demystify the Supreme Court’s opaque processes, providing clear timelines and realistic expectations. His courtroom demeanor—confident, respectful, and focused—has earned commendations from senior judges and peers alike.

If you believe a higher judicial decision has overlooked essential facts or legal principles, Vihaan Basu can evaluate the strength of your case, explain the steps involved in filing a Transfer Petition or SLP, and represent you through every phase of the Supreme Court proceedings.
