Service Overview

Everything you need to know about this service

A Special Leave Petition (SLP) is filed under Article 136 of the Constitution of India before the Supreme Court of India. It provides an opportunity to challenge decisions made by lower courts or tribunals when a party believes that justice has not been properly served.
The Supreme Court has the discretionary power to grant or refuse special leave to appeal. This means the Court will first examine whether the case involves a substantial question of law, serious legal error, or miscarriage of justice.
SLP is considered an extraordinary legal remedy and is usually filed after all other legal remedies have been exhausted. Proper drafting, documentation, and compliance with the Supreme Court Rules are essential for filing a Special Leave Petition. Our legal team provides professional assistance in evaluating the case, preparing the petition, compiling documents, and representing clients before the Supreme Court of India.
