Profile description

When a lower court issues a quashing order that ends a criminal proceeding, the decision can sometimes be premature or based on an incomplete assessment of the facts. If you believe the order should be reviewed, you need a lawyer who can take the matter to the Supreme Court of India for a fresh look. Satyajit Khanna is an advocate who specializes in filing Special Leave Petitions against quashing orders and reviewing such cases before the Supreme Court.

Satyajit Khanna can help you prepare a petition that challenges the legal reasoning behind a quashing order. The lawyer begins by examining the trial court’s judgment, the evidence on record, and any procedural irregularities that may have influenced the decision. By identifying gaps—such as a failure to consider crucial testimony, misinterpretation of statutory provisions, or an oversight in applying legal standards—the advocate crafts a compelling argument that asks the Supreme Court to set aside the quashing order and direct a re‑examination of the case.

The lawyer also files Review Petitions in quashing cases where an earlier Supreme Court decision has been obtained, but new facts or legal arguments have emerged. Satyajit Khanna is familiar with the stringent criteria that govern review applications and knows how to present fresh evidence or point out a manifest error in the earlier judgment. The advocate’s meticulous preparation ensures that the petition complies with the Supreme Court’s procedural rules, thereby increasing the likelihood of acceptance.

The advocate also outlines the possible timelines, including the period for hearing and the issuance of a judgment, allowing clients to plan accordingly.

In addition to drafting petitions, the lawyer prepares comprehensive supporting materials. This includes affidavits from witnesses, expert opinions, and citations of precedent‑setting Supreme Court rulings that support the request for review. Satyajit Khanna’s experience in arguing before the apex court enables the lawyer to anticipate judges’ concerns and address them directly in oral submissions.

When the Supreme Court grants leave to hear a petition, the lawyer presents a concise yet persuasive oral argument that emphasizes the need for judicial scrutiny. Satyajit Khanna focuses on the impact of the quashing order on the client’s rights, reputation, and future prospects, while also highlighting any public interest considerations that may be relevant.
