Profile description

Jahnabi Anumula specializes in NRI Special Leave Petitions and Appeals, offering a clear pathway for such high‑stakes issues.

Jahnabi Anumula has more than fourteen years of practice focused on representing non‑resident Indians before the nation’s highest court. The lawyer earned a distinguished law degree from the National Law School of India University and completed advanced coursework in comparative criminal law. Over the career, the lawyer has filed dozens of Special Leave Petitions that have resulted in the Supreme Court setting aside wrongful convictions, ordering retrials, or issuing directions that protect the rights of NRIs.

When an NRI approaches Jahnabi Anumula, the lawyer undertakes a meticulous examination of the trial verdict, the evidence record, and any procedural irregularities that may have occurred. The lawyer can explain how a Special Leave Petition can raise points of law, jurisdiction, or fundamental rights that the Supreme Court is empowered to review. The lawyer regularly assists clients in drafting concise petitions, attaching critical foreign‑jurisdiction documents, and preparing oral arguments that align with the Supreme Court’s expectations.

A landmark achievement for the lawyer involved an NRI student whose conviction for alleged cyber‑offence was overturned after the Supreme Court found that the lower court had misapplied the principle of double jeopardy. Another notable case saw the Supreme Court granting an extraordinary relief that stayed a death penalty sentence, based on a persuasive appeal prepared by the lawyer highlighting new forensic evidence.
