Akhil Shrivastava

Profile description

If you have been denied compensation after a road accident and the lower tribunal’s decision seems unfair, an appeal before the Punjab and Haryana High Court can turn the tide. Akhil Shrivastava focuses on civil appeals, arbitration disputes, and motor accident compensation appeals, providing a comprehensive service for clients who need higher‑court intervention to obtain rightful relief.

Shrivastava secured a first‑class law degree from a distinguished institution in Chandigarh and subsequently completed a master’s program in alternative dispute resolution. He spent six years as a legal officer with a leading arbitration centre, handling complex commercial and construction arbitrations before moving into private practice. Over the past thirteen years, he has cultivated a reputation for meticulous research, persuasive drafting, and effective advocacy in both appellate and arbitral forums.

When a client seeks to challenge an unfavorable motor accident compensation award, Shrivastava begins with a thorough examination of the evidence, medical reports, and the statutory framework governing compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act. He can help by identifying miscalculations, overlooked damages, or procedural irregularities that justify a reversal. Shrivastava then prepares a detailed appeal petition that articulates the correct quantum of compensation, cites relevant Supreme Court judgments, and stresses the impact of the injury on the client’s livelihood. In the High Court hearing, he presents the case with clarity, focusing on the legal errors that led to an inadequate award and urging the bench to grant a rightful settlement.

In addition to motor accident matters, Shrivastava regularly assists parties engaged in arbitration. He can draft arbitration agreements that protect client interests, represent clients during hearings, and, when necessary, challenge or enforce arbitral awards before the High Court. His expertise in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act enables him to navigate complex procedural issues, such as jurisdictional challenges, evidence admissibility, and enforcement of foreign awards. When an arbitral award is contested, Shrivastava prepares a robust civil appeal, contending that the award is contrary to public policy or suffers from a jurisdictional defect, and presents the arguments before the High Court. If the matter escalates, he is prepared to appear before the Supreme Court of India, leveraging his experience with landmark arbitration decisions.

Shrivastava’s approach emphasizes transparent communication and strategic planning. He meets with clients to outline the appellate timeline, explain the possible outcomes, and discuss the costs involved. Throughout the case, he provides regular updates and promptly addresses any queries. Clients appreciate his ability to translate complex legal principles into actionable steps, as well as his commitment to achieving practical results. His track record includes numerous successful motor accident compensation appeals that increased awards by significant margins, enforcement of arbitration awards that secured large commercial victories, and civil appeals that corrected lower‑court errors, some of which were affirmed by the Supreme Court.

If you are ready to pursue a higher‑court remedy for a denied compensation claim, an unsatisfactory arbitration award, or any civil decision that impacts your rights, Akhil Shrivastava offers the expertise and determination needed to secure a favorable outcome.
