Piyush Bhatt, a seasoned lawyer based in Chandigarh, specializes in filing NRI Special Leave Petitions and appeals that challenge convictions, sentences, or procedural irregularities at the highest judicial level.

Piyush Bhatt earned a law degree from Panjab University followed by a Master of Laws from the National Law School of India University. Over the past fifteen years, the lawyer has represented dozens of NRIs in complex cross‑border criminal matters, gaining a reputation for meticulous research and persuasive written submissions. Regularly assisting clients who are detained abroad or facing extradition, the advocate has honed a strategic understanding of both domestic criminal law and international jurisdictional nuances.

The Special Leave Petition (SLP) is a powerful tool that permits the Supreme Court to review lower‑court decisions for grave legal error or miscarriage of justice. Piyush Bhatt guides NRIs through every stage of the SLP process, from drafting a precise petition that highlights the constitutional and procedural grounds to filing it within the prescribed timeline. The lawyer also prepares persuasive appellate briefs, incorporates precedent from earlier Supreme Court judgments, and presents oral arguments that emphasize the impact of the conviction on the client’s family and livelihood.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s habit of providing clear, jargon‑free updates at each milestone.

The advocate also collaborates with forensic experts, private investigators, and senior counsel when the case demands technical evidence or specialized opinions. By integrating such resources, the lawyer can strengthen the petition’s factual matrix and increase the likelihood of a favorable order, whether it is a stay of execution, a modification of sentence, or a complete reversal.

Over the last decade, the lawyer has secured successful outcomes in more than sixty percent of the SLPs filed on behalf of NRIs. Notable victories include a landmark reversal that freed an Indian‑born software engineer detained in a fraud case abroad, and an order that quashed a death‑sentence based on procedural lapses.
