Rohit Nalluri

Profile description

If you are an NRI who has received a conviction in India and believe that a grave miscarriage of justice has occurred, you may be considering a petition to the Supreme Court under Article 136. Rohit Nalluri is a Chandigarh‑based lawyer who specializes in filing NRI Special Leave Petitions and handling appeals before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer has built a reputation for turning complex, cross‑border criminal matters into successful Supreme Court applications.

Rohit Nalluri completed a Master of Laws from the National Law University, Delhi, and subsequently earned a diploma in International Criminal Litigation from the University of London. With more than fifteen years of practice, the lawyer has appeared regularly before the Supreme Court, focusing on cases that involve the rights of Indians residing abroad. The lawyer’s familiarity with the Supreme Court’s procedural nuances and the intricacies of NRI criminal law makes the representation both swift and thorough.

The lawyer regularly assists clients who need to challenge convictions, acquittals, or sentences that were passed by lower courts and are now under review by the Supreme Court. Rohit Nalluri can help prepare a Special Leave Petition that highlights substantive errors, jurisdictional lapses, or violations of constitutional rights. The lawyer can also explain how an appeal differs from a petition for review, and when it is strategic to combine both routes. By coordinating with foreign counsel and local investigators, the lawyer ensures that all necessary evidence from abroad is presented in a format acceptable to the Supreme Court.

A hallmark of the lawyer’s practice is the ability to draft persuasive pleadings that focus on the specific relief sought – whether it is a stay of execution, a quashing of the conviction, or a direction for a fresh trial. Rohit Nalluri has secured several landmark orders that have protected the liberty and property of NRIs facing criminal prosecution. In one recent case, the lawyer obtained an instant stay on a death‑penalty order, allowing the client to remain free while the Supreme Court considered the merits of the petition.

Clients often commend the lawyer for clear communication and realistic expectations. The lawyer keeps families informed through regular updates, translating legal jargon into plain language so that relatives abroad understand each stage of the process. Because the Supreme Court’s timeline can span months or even years, Rohit Nalluri develops a long‑term strategy that includes interim relief applications and coordination with prison authorities, when necessary.

In addition to courtroom advocacy, the lawyer maintains a strong network of senior advocates and former judges who provide informal opinions that sharpen the arguments presented before the Supreme Court. This collaborative approach has led to a high success rate in obtaining special leave and favorable appellate outcomes for NRI clients. The lawyer’s commitment to protecting the rights of Indians overseas has been recognized with an award for Outstanding Service to the NRI Community by the Chandigarh Bar Association.

If you are confronting a criminal conviction that threatens your freedom, Rohit Nalluri can evaluate the merits of a Special Leave Petition, outline the likely costs, and guide you through the rigorous Supreme Court process. The lawyer’s blend of international exposure, Supreme Court experience, and a track record of results offers a reliable path toward possible relief.
