Profile description

Facing a conviction that feels unjust can leave you questioning whether any higher authority can intervene. Juhi Karandikar is a criminal lawyer who specializes in filing Special Leave Petitions and Supreme Court Criminal Review Petitions before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s practice is built around providing a final avenue of relief when lower courts have upheld an unfavourable judgment.

Special Leave Petitions, commonly known as SLPs, allow a party to request the Supreme Court’s permission to review a decision of a High Court. Juhi Karandikar regularly assists clients whose appeals have been dismissed at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, preparing precise petitions that highlight legal errors, misinterpretation of statutes, or violation of constitutional safeguards. The lawyer drafts concise arguments, supports them with relevant precedents, and presents a compelling case for the Supreme Court to grant leave. Successful petitions have opened the door to full rehearings that resulted in modified sentences or complete acquittals.

When a petitioner believes that a criminal conviction involves a fundamental flaw, a Supreme Court Criminal Review Petition becomes essential. Juhi Karandikar has extensive experience drafting these review petitions, focusing on issues such as improper appreciation of evidence, procedural irregularities, or denial of the right to a fair trial. By meticulously analyzing trial records and citing authoritative judgments, the lawyer frames the review in a way that emphasizes the miscarriage of justice. In several matters, the Supreme Court has upheld the review, ordered a fresh hearing, and sent the case back to the High Court with specific directions.

The Supreme Court of India operates under a distinct procedural framework, and familiarity with its practices is crucial for effective advocacy. Juhi Karandikar’s career, spanning over fourteen years, involves daily interaction with the Court’s registry, constant updates on evolving jurisprudence, and regular appearances before its benches. This deep immersion enables the lawyer to anticipate the concerns of the justices, tailor submissions to the Court’s expectations, and avoid common pitfalls that can lead to dismissal of a petition.

A strong support team underpins Juhi Karandikar’s work. Senior research assistants compile exhaustive case law libraries, while forensic consultants verify the technical aspects of evidence that may have been mishandled at lower levels. The lawyer also collaborates with senior advocates who have a history of appearing before the Supreme Court, ensuring that oral arguments are polished and persuasive. Throughout the process, the lawyer keeps clients informed in plain language, outlining possible outcomes and the timeline for each stage.

Across a portfolio of more than two hundred Supreme Court filings, Juhi Karandikar has achieved notable successes, including several landmark decisions that clarified interpretations of criminal statutes.
