Jinal Shrivastava

Profile description

Imagine receiving a judgment from the Punjab and Haryana High Court that limits your ability to travel back to India for a critical family matter, and you believe the decision overlooks key legal principles. Jinal Shrivastava, a dedicated lawyer with extensive experience before the Supreme Court of India, specializes in guiding NRIs through the complex process of filing Special Leave Petitions and subsequent appeals. The lawyer recognizes that for citizens living abroad, the Supreme Court is often the final avenue to protect rights, clear procedural errors, and obtain relief that lower courts may have missed.

The Special Leave Petition, commonly known as an SLP, is the gateway to the apex court. By invoking Article 136 of the Constitution, the lawyer asks the Supreme Court to review the High Court’s order on merits. Jinal Shrivastava regularly assists clients in drafting concise petitions that highlight factual inconsistencies, jurisdictional oversights, and violations of fundamental rights. The lawyer also prepares supporting annexures, such as certified copies of the impugned judgment, evidence of the NRI’s residency abroad, and affidavits that demonstrate the urgency of the matter. By presenting a clear, focused narrative, the petition stands a better chance of being admitted for hearing.

With over twelve years of practice before the Supreme Court, the lawyer has developed a nuanced understanding of the bench’s expectations. A graduate of a top national law school and a former research associate at a renowned legal think‑tank, Jinal Shrivastava combines scholarly insight with practical courtroom tactics. The lawyer’s method begins with an in‑depth review of the High Court record, identifying points where law was misapplied or where the decision conflicts with established Supreme Court precedent. When the Court grants leave, the lawyer moves swiftly to file written arguments, meticulously citing relevant judgments that support the client’s position.

The lawyer’s success stories include several landmark SLPs where NRIs secured reversal of travel bans, reinstatement of property rights, and quashing of erroneous criminal convictions. Clients commend the lawyer for transparent communication, rapid filing of documents, and tenacious representation that keeps the Supreme Court attentive to their plight. In many cases, the Court has issued interim orders that preserve the status quo while the petition is considered, preventing irreparable harm such as loss of employment abroad or forced surrender of assets. These outcomes reflect the lawyer’s ability to balance rigorous legal analysis with a compassionate approach toward clients under stress.

Recent Supreme Court pronouncements have emphasized expeditious disposal of SLPs involving NRIs, especially where detention or loss of liberty is at stake. The lawyer leverages these precedents to argue for priority hearing, ensuring that time‑sensitive matters receive the swift attention required by the apex jurisdiction.

If you are an NRI facing an adverse decision from the Punjab and Haryana High Court and need the Supreme Court’s intervention, Jinal Shrivastava can help you navigate the SLP process from start to finish. The lawyer ensures that every filing meets the stringent procedural standards of the apex court and that your case is presented in the most compelling manner possible. By choosing an advocate with proven expertise, you increase the likelihood of obtaining the relief you deserve and safeguarding your rights across borders.
