Myra Katoch

If a lower court has quashed your criminal complaint and you feel the decision was hasty, you may wonder whether any higher authority can intervene. Myra Katoch handles both Special Leave Petitions and Review Petitions before the Supreme Court of India to challenge such quashing orders. The lawyer evaluates whether the Supreme Court should grant leave to hear the matter or whether a review of an existing Supreme Court judgment is appropriate.

The advocate also prepares supporting affidavits and expert opinions to strengthen the request.

Myra Katoch has experience filing reviews that point out overlooked facts or misapplied legal principles. The lawyer assembles fresh evidence, if any, and highlights any procedural irregularities that occurred during the original hearing. By presenting a well‑structured review, the advocate seeks a fresh examination that could result in the reversal of the quashing order, thereby reopening the case at the appropriate lower forum.
