Ashwin Dhillon

Profile description

You have exhausted all normal channels of appeal in a criminal case that originated in India, and the decision now rests with the Supreme Court of India. As an NRI, you feel distant from the country’s highest court and uncertain about how to frame a compelling appeal that could overturn a conviction or grant relief. This moment calls for a lawyer who knows the intricacies of Special Leave Petitions and Appeals before the apex bench.

Ashwin Dhillon is that lawyer. Specializing in NRI Special Leave Petitions and Appeals, Dhillon brings over eleven years of focused experience representing clients before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer has a proven record of securing leave in cases that involve allegations of procedural unfairness, constitutional violations and misuse of power by lower tribunals.

Dhillon’s practice revolves around meticulous preparation of Special Leave Petitions under Article 136. The lawyer regularly assists clients in distilling complex case histories into concise arguments that align with the Supreme Court’s expectations. By highlighting pivotal legal errors, misinterpretation of statutes and breaches of fundamental rights, Dhillon can craft a petition that stands a realistic chance of being entertained by the Court.

A recent success story involved an NRI who faced an unjust conviction for alleged financial misconduct abroad. Dhillon prepared a Special Leave Petition that emphasized the lack of jurisdiction, inconsistencies in the evidence and violation of the right to a fair trial. The Supreme Court granted leave, heard the appeal and ultimately set aside the conviction, restoring the client’s freedom and reputation. In another case, Dhillon secured an expedited hearing for an appeal concerning a wrongful extradition order, leading to the Supreme Court directing the government to withdraw the order.

Clients appreciate Dhillon’s transparent and strategic counsel. The lawyer explains each phase of the Supreme Court process, from drafting the petition to the oral arguments, and outlines the documentation needed to support the claim. Dhillon also advises on the realistic timelines, potential costs and the likelihood of success, enabling clients to make informed decisions.
