Profile description

Imagine you have been convicted in India while residing abroad, and the High Court’s decision leaves you with a heavy sentence that could jeopardize your career and family life. Sanchari Krishnamurthy, a dedicated advocate in Chandigarh, focuses exclusively on filing Special Leave Petitions and appeals before the Supreme Court of India for NRI clients. With a deep understanding of constitutional provisions and Supreme Court precedents, Krishnamurthy offers a lifeline to those who need the highest judicial review.

Krishnamurthy has spent more than a decade mastering the intricacies of Supreme Court practice. After graduating from the National Law School of India University with honors, the advocate completed a postgraduate diploma in Criminal Law from the University of Madras.

By articulating a clear narrative that connects the client’s circumstances with constitutional safeguards, Krishnamurthy increases the chances of the Court granting leave and setting aside the impugned order.

Once leave is granted, Krishnamurthy moves swiftly to file a full appeal that challenges the legal reasoning of the lower court. The advocate utilizes precedent‑setting judgments to argue that the conviction breaches the right to a fair trial, the principle of double jeopardy, or the protection against arbitrary detention. In recent Supreme Court appearances, Krishnamurthy secured dismissals of wrongful convictions and reductions of sentences, delivering relief that restored clients’ freedom to travel and work abroad.

Over the past fifteen years, Krishnamurthy has achieved a success rate that exceeds national averages for NRI appeals.

The advocate maintains a disciplined schedule of updates, ensuring that each stakeholder, whether in Delhi, London, or New York, receives timely information about filing dates, hearing schedules, and interim orders. This transparent communication reduces anxiety and builds trust throughout the often‑stressful appellate journey.

Krishnamurthy also assists with ancillary matters such as passport impoundment petitions and coordination with foreign consulates, ensuring that travel documents remain intact while criminal proceedings are pending. By leveraging relationships with senior Supreme Court judges and a network of experienced colleagues, the advocate can often secure interim relief that prevents unnecessary detention. The promise is clear: to fight relentlessly for a reversal or mitigation of the adverse order, aiming for a result that restores personal liberty and professional reputation.

With a reputation built on rigorous analysis, persuasive advocacy, and a personal commitment to NRI clients, Sanchari Krishnamurthy stands ready to navigate the Supreme Court’s demanding appellate arena.
