Profile description

You are an NRI facing a conviction that was handed down in India, and you have been told that a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court of India may be your last chance for relief. Mridul Velmurugan can guide you through that critical stage.

Mridul Velmurugan specializes in NRI Special Leave Petitions and Appeals before the Supreme Court of India. Over the past twelve years, the lawyer has built a reputation for representing non‑resident Indians whose criminal matters require intervention at the nation’s highest judicial forum. The lawyer regularly assists clients in filing SLPs that seek the Supreme Court’s discretionary review when lower‑court remedies are exhausted.

The first step is a comprehensive analysis of the conviction record, the evidence, and any procedural errors that might have occurred. Mridul Velmurugan can explain how the Supreme Court decides whether to grant leave, focusing on questions of law, violation of constitutional guarantees, or manifest injustice. The lawyer prepares a concise petition that highlights why the case deserves the Court’s attention.

If the Supreme Court grants leave, the lawyer moves the matter forward with a full appeal.

The lawyer’s track record includes several landmark SLPs that resulted in reversal of convictions, reduction of sentences, or complete acquittals on the basis of procedural flaw or misinterpretation of law. In one high‑profile case, an SLP filed by the lawyer led to a stay on an extradition order, allowing the client to remain overseas while the appeal was heard. In another, the Supreme Court set aside a conviction because the investigation had violated the client’s right to a fair trial.
