Profile description

Imagine receiving a High Court order that overturns a critical decision in your civil dispute, leaving you uncertain about your legal position. You need a lawyer who can challenge that order before the country’s highest judicial body. Karthikeyan Basu specializes in filing Special Leave Petitions against High Court orders, and the lawyer brings that expertise to the Supreme Court of India.

Karthikeyan Basu has built a reputation over fourteen years of practice as an advocate who knows precisely when and how to approach the Supreme Court for relief. After completing a distinguished law degree and a master’s in Constitutional Law, the lawyer worked as a junior to a former Supreme Court advocate, learning the art of drafting persuasive SLPs. The lawyer’s experience includes overturning High Court rulings in commercial disputes, property matters, and administrative law challenges. In several instances, the Supreme Court has granted leave and set aside erroneous High Court findings, restoring the client’s rights.

The lawyer’s process starts with a meticulous examination of the High Court order. Karthikeyan Basu looks for legal errors, misapplications of precedent, or procedural irregularities that can form the basis of a petition. The lawyer then prepares a focused SLP that frames the issue as one of substantial public importance or a grave miscarriage of justice, as required by Supreme Court practice. By citing relevant judgments and offering a clear, concise argument, the lawyer increases the chances that the petition will be entertained.

During the consultation, Karthikeyan Basu explains the limited scope of a Special Leave Petition, the expected timeline, and the documents that will strengthen the case. The lawyer also advises on interim relief that the Supreme Court may grant while the petition is pending, such as a stay of execution of the High Court order. Throughout the proceedings, the lawyer maintains regular communication, ensuring the client understands each development and can make informed decisions.

The results achieved by Karthikeyan Basu speak for themselves. Clients have seen High Court orders reversed, monetary awards reinstated, and strategic advantages regained. The lawyer’s ability to navigate the Supreme Court’s procedural landscape has saved clients from costly litigation and unjust outcomes. If you have a High Court order that you believe is incorrect or harmful, reaching out to Karthikeyan Basu can provide a pathway to senior judicial review and a chance to set the record straight.
