Aanchal Hazarika

Profile description

You have received a notice that a lower court has issued a quashing order against your case, and you believe the order was premature or mistaken. A Special Leave Petition (SLP) can be the appropriate tool to ask the Supreme Court of India to review that decision. Aanchal Hazarika specializes in drafting and arguing SLPs that challenge quashing orders, as well as filing review petitions in the Supreme Court when a quashing order needs to be reconsidered.

The lawyer begins by analyzing the factual and legal basis of the quashing order. If the order was based on an incomplete record, misinterpretation of law, or procedural oversight, Aanchal Hazarika prepares a concise SLP that highlights these deficiencies. The petition is crafted to demonstrate that the quashing order not only affects the client’s rights but also raises substantial questions of law that merit the Supreme Court’s attention. The lawyer ensures that the petition complies with the stringent requirements of Article 136 of the Constitution, presenting a compelling case for the Supreme Court to grant special leave.

When the Supreme Court entertains the SLP and issues a stay, the lawyer turns attention to the possibility of a review petition if the Court later delivers a judgment that is adverse or contains an apparent error. Aanchal Hazarika’s experience includes drafting review petitions that focus on a clear mistake, new evidence, or a breach of natural justice. By emphasizing the impact of the quashing order on the client’s livelihood and legal standing, the lawyer persuades the Supreme Court to revisit its own decision.

With more than a decade of practice at the apex court, the lawyer has built a reputation for precise legal drafting and persuasive oral advocacy. Aanchal Hazarika regularly assists clients ranging from businesses facing regulatory setbacks to individuals whose criminal matters were dismissed prematurely. The lawyer’s track record includes several instances where the Supreme Court has set aside or modified lower‑court quashing orders, thereby reinstating the client’s right to pursue the original cause of action.

Clients value the lawyer’s clear communication style. Aanchal Hazarika can explain the nuances of an SLP, the likelihood of a stay, and the timeline for a Supreme Court hearing. The lawyer also outlines the steps involved in filing a review petition, including the strict time limits and the necessity of presenting fresh material or highlighting a substantive error. Throughout the process, the lawyer keeps the client informed, reduces uncertainty, and provides strategic advice on parallel actions that may be taken in lower courts.

Strategically, the lawyer draws upon recent Supreme Court decisions that underscore the Court’s willingness to intervene when a quashing order undermines substantive rights or disregards procedural safeguards. By aligning arguments with these precedents, the lawyer enhances the probability of a favorable outcome.

If you are confronting a quashing order that jeopardizes your case, Aanchal Hazarika can help you craft a robust Special Leave Petition, obtain a stay, and, if necessary, pursue a review petition that seeks to overturn the Supreme Court’s own judgment. The lawyer’s dedication to meticulous preparation and relentless advocacy offers a reliable pathway to safeguarding your legal interests at the highest judicial level.
