Sumit Kapur

Profile description

If you have just received a quashing order from the Punjab and Haryana High Court that stops a criminal case you believe is legitimate, the next step is to challenge that order before the Supreme Court of India. Sumit Kapur specializes in filing Special Leave Petitions that seek the apex court’s permission to overturn such orders. The lawyer knows that time is of the essence, because any delay can harden the impact of the quashing and make it harder to revive the proceedings. By preparing a focused petition, Sumit Kapur works to persuade the Supreme Court that the lower court’s decision raises a substantial question of law that merits the nation’s highest judicial review.

Special Leave Petitions under Article 136 are the only route for a party to approach the Supreme Court when a High Court order appears oppressive or legally flawed. Sumit Kapur regularly assists clients in crafting SLPs that meet the rigorous standards of the Supreme Court’s registry. The lawyer conducts a detailed analysis of the quashing order, identifies any misapplication of legal principles, and gathers documentary evidence that highlights the seriousness of the issue. By framing the petition around core legal issues—such as the correct test for fraud, the standards for admissibility of evidence, or the procedural safeguards required by the Constitution—Sumit Kapur enhances the prospects of securing leave to be heard.

Once leave is granted, the lawyer moves swiftly to present a comprehensive review of the High Court’s judgment. Sumit Kapur prepares an exhaustive brief that points out specific errors, such as reliance on vague precedent, omission of material facts, or failure to apply the statutory burden of proof. The lawyer also arranges for expert opinions when technical matters like forensic accounting or digital evidence are involved. During oral arguments, Sumit Kapur emphasizes the broader public interest in correcting a misdirected quashing order, arguing that allowing the case to proceed safeguards the rule of law and protects victims’ rights.
