Manjunath Shah specializes in Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) against quashing orders.

The lawyer also handles Supreme Court Review Petitions in quashing cases. After the Supreme Court has rendered a decision, a party may file a review if there are apparent errors or new evidence. Manjunath Shah knows the narrow circumstances under which the Supreme Court entertains a review and can craft a petition that satisfies the stringent criteria for reconsideration.

In the Supreme Court of India, the advocate looks for precedent that supports overturning a quashing order. Manjunath Shah frequently cites landmark decisions that reaffirm the court’s power to intervene when a lower court’s reasoning is unsound.
