Sreejith Arunachalam

Profile description

Imagine a situation where a lower court judgment in India jeopardizes your property or business while you reside abroad, and you believe the decision contains legal errors. Sreejith Arunachalam, a skilled advocate in Chandigarh, specializes in filing Special Leave Petitions and handling appeals for NRIs before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. The advocate offers a clear pathway to challenge adverse orders that affect overseas Indians.

The Special Leave Petition (SLP) is the single gateway to the Supreme Court, allowing an NRI to ask the apex court to review a High Court judgment that appears to violate legal principles or procedural fairness. Sreejith Arunachalam can explain the stringent criteria, help draft a concise petition that highlights key errors, and attach supporting affidavits and certified copies of the lower court record. The advocate regularly assists clients in obtaining admissible proof of overseas residency, which strengthens the case for granting special leave.

If the Supreme Court grants leave, the next stage is to present a compelling appeal that urges the court to set aside or modify the impugned order. Sreejith Arunachalam prepares detailed written arguments, prepares for oral submissions, and coordinates with counsel in the High Court to align strategies. The advocate also handles post‑judgment applications, such as review petitions or curative petitions, ensuring that every possible legal remedy is explored for the NRI client.

Arunachalam holds a Master of Laws with a focus on constitutional and appellate practice and has spent over sixteen years representing NRIs in complex litigation. The advocate began a career as a research assistant to a senior Supreme Court advocate, gaining exposure to the nuances of petition drafting and oral argumentation. Later, as a junior counsel in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer honed courtroom skills that now enable swift navigation of procedural requirements at both the High Court and the apex court.

The advocate’s methodology emphasizes thorough research, precise drafting, and strategic timing. Sreejith Arunachalam begins each petition by reviewing the entire case file, identifying legal misinterpretations, and pinpointing procedural lapses that merit Supreme Court intervention. The advocate then structures the petition to meet the court’s formatting rules, uses clear headings, and cites relevant precedents that support the NRI’s position. In recent years, the lawyer has achieved successful outcomes in over forty SLPs, including orders that restored property rights, overturned wrongful convictions, and granted tax relief for NRIs.

Clients appreciate the personal attention they receive from Sreejith Arunachalam. The advocate schedules regular updates, explaining each stage of the petition or appeal in plain language and answering questions about potential timelines. This transparent approach reduces anxiety and helps the client plan financial and personal matters while the case proceeds. Moreover, the lawyer offers guidance on related issues such as compliance with foreign exchange regulations and the impact of pending litigation on overseas assets.

Choosing Sreejith Arunachalam ensures that an NRI’s rights are defended with diligence and strategic insight, aiming to secure the most favorable judgment possible and to protect interests both in India and abroad.
