Aakriti Barua

Profile description

Facing a situation where a lower court’s quashing order has derailed your business or personal plans can feel devastating. Aakriti Barua offers a focused solution through Special Leave Petitions and Supreme Court review petitions that target quashing orders. The lawyer’s expertise lies in convincing the highest court to overturn orders that were improperly granted.

Aakriti Barua completed a Bachelor of Laws from Guru Nanak Dev University and a Master of Laws in Criminal Procedure from National Law School of India University. With over fifteen years of practice, the lawyer has appeared before the Supreme Court of India in dozens of Special Leave Petitions contesting quashing orders across civil, commercial, and criminal matters. The lawyer is a member of the Chandigarh Bar Association’s Appellate Committee and has been recognized for persuasive drafting and articulate advocacy.

The primary practice area involves filing Special Leave Petitions (SLP) when a party believes that the High Court’s quashing decision suffers from substantial legal error. The lawyer examines the judgment, isolates points where the court misapplied statutory provisions or ignored material evidence, and crafts a petition that meets the stringent standards of the Supreme Court. By citing relevant precedents and highlighting the public interest, Aakriti can demonstrate why the quashing order should be set aside. The lawyer also prepares comprehensive annexures, including fresh documents, expert opinions, and detailed affidavits, to strengthen the petition.

In parallel, the lawyer handles Supreme Court review petitions that seek a direct re‑examination of a quashing order. This dual capability allows clients to choose the most effective route based on case facts and urgency. Aakriti regularly assists clients in securing interim relief, such as a stay on the original order, while the petition is pending. The lawyer’s courtroom presence is noted for confidence and clarity; judges have praised the lawyer’s ability to distill complex legal arguments into concise points.

Successful outcomes underscore the lawyer’s competence. In a recent case involving a corporate partnership, the lawyer secured reversal of a High Court quashing that had threatened the dissolution of a joint venture, preserving millions of rupees in assets. In another criminal matter, the lawyer’s SLP led to the reinstatement of a charge sheet that had been prematurely dismissed, enabling the prosecution to proceed. Clients commend the lawyer for thorough preparation, timely updates, and a calm demeanor during high‑stakes hearings.

The lawyer also places a strong emphasis on transparent engagement. An initial free consultation lets clients discuss the merits of their case without financial commitment. If the client proceeds, the lawyer provides a detailed fee outline that aligns with the case’s complexity and anticipated court fees. Written agreements prevent misunderstandings and foster trust. By combining deep legal knowledge, strategic thinking, and a client‑first attitude, Aakriti Barua equips those affected by quashing orders with a realistic path to reversal.
