Mehran Sabharwal

Profile description

If a lower court has granted bail and the order is later challenged, or if you believe a Supreme Court decision on a criminal matter warrants reconsideration, Mehran Sabharwal can guide you through the highest levels of appellate relief. The lawyer handles Special Leave Petitions against bail orders and Supreme Court criminal review petitions, offering a focused approach to safeguard your liberty.

A Special Leave Petition (SLP) against a bail order is filed when a higher court, often the Supreme Court of India, overturns a bail granted by a lower tribunal. Mehran Sabharwal examines the reasons for the reversal, assesses whether the lower court’s decision adhered to legal standards, and drafts a petition requesting the Supreme Court to exercise its discretion and restore the original bail. The lawyer highlights procedural lapses, misinterpretation of law, or any prejudice that the bail cancellation may cause to the client’s personal and professional life.

Criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court are another potent tool when a conviction or sentence appears flawed. Mehran Sabharwal reviews the trial record, identifies legal errors—such as incorrect application of statutory provisions, denial of fair trial rights, or reliance on inadmissible evidence—and constructs a concise set of grounds for review. By citing relevant precedents and constitutional safeguards, the lawyer seeks to have the Supreme Court set aside or modify the lower court’s judgment.

The lawyer’s academic credentials include an LL.M. from a leading Indian university and a series of specialized courses in constitutional and criminal law. With over twelve years of practice focused on appellate advocacy, Mehran Sabharwal has assisted clients in obtaining relief from the Supreme Court in numerous bail and conviction matters. Early roles as a research assistant for judicial reform projects provided a strong foundation in legal analysis, while subsequent mentorship under senior Supreme Court advocates refined courtroom advocacy skills.
