Court Litigation
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
Advocacy at the Supreme Court requires concision and comprehensiveness in equal measure to ensure effective representation. Appeals from various state High Courts are usually filed in the form of Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) where ‘Leave’ or permission is sought to file an appeal to the Supreme Court.
On an average, the Supreme Court of India, admits only 14% of the cases filed before it, i.e. only 1 in 7 cases are admitted for further hearing.
