Devika Kisku

Profile description

When a Punjab and Haryana High Court ruling limits your ability to protect intellectual property, the frustration can be acute. Devika Kisku is a lawyer who focuses on filing Special Leave Petitions before the Supreme Court of India, creating an avenue to contest High Court orders that seem legally unsound.

Special Leave Petitions are the exclusive route for asking the Supreme Court to re‑examine a judgment when no ordinary appeal remains. Devika regularly assists clients whose High Court decisions involve patent infringements, trademark cancellations, or complex commercial contracts that have been interpreted unfavourably. The lawyer can explain the precise criteria the Supreme Court uses to admit a petition and can craft a submission that aligns with those standards.

A graduate of Symbiosis Law School, Pune, Kisku began a career in a Chandigarh corporate law practice, handling appellate matters and advising multinational clients on regulatory compliance. After five years, the lawyer earned the advocate licence and shifted focus to Special Leave Petitions, recognizing a niche need for high‑level review of High Court rulings. Over the past thirteen years, Devika has prepared and filed more than 190 petitions, achieving reversal, modification, or interim relief in a significant proportion of them. Clients frequently note the lawyer’s blend of commercial insight, rigorous research, and clear, persuasive writing that captures the Supreme Court’s attention.

Key successes include obtaining a stay on a High Court order that ordered the recall of a patented medical device, securing a full reversal of a trademark cancellation that would have cost a client millions in re‑branding, and persuading the Supreme Court to set aside a commercial contract judgment where the lower court overlooked a statutory exemption. In a recent tax‑related matter, the lawyer succeeded in having the Supreme Court declare a High Court assessment void due to misapplication of the tax code, resulting in a substantial refund for the client.

Before proceeding, Devika undertakes a comprehensive cost‑benefit review to confirm that a Special Leave Petition is a prudent step. The lawyer dissects the High Court judgment, pinpoints jurisdictional gaps, procedural errors, or legal misinterpretations, and gauges the strength of those points against relevant Supreme Court case law. Devika then presents an honest appraisal of possible outcomes, prepares the client for both full and partial relief scenarios, and assembles a complete record that bolsters the petition’s central arguments.

The lawyer also maintains close ties with senior advocates and former judges who provide informal feedback during the drafting phase. This network helps anticipate the bench’s line of questioning and refines the legal narrative accordingly. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s prompt updates, plain‑language explanations of complex issues, and strategic guidance throughout the often‑protracted Supreme Court process.

If a High Court decision threatens your intellectual property or commercial interests, engaging a lawyer with deep expertise in Special Leave Petitions can reopen the path to protection. Devika Kisku offers the analytical depth, precise drafting, and courtroom confidence needed to navigate the Supreme Court’s stringent requirements. The lawyer’s proven record shows that a well‑structured petition can overturn even a seemingly definitive judgment, giving you a renewed opportunity to safeguard your assets and business reputation.
