Tejas Khandelwal

Profile description

If you are an Indian citizen living abroad and have received an adverse order from a lower court that threatens your liberty, you may wonder whether there is any chance to challenge it at the highest level. Tejas Khandelwal, a specialist NRI lawyer based in Chandigarh, focuses on filing Special Leave Petitions and Appeals before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer understands the urgency that NRI families feel when a conviction or sentencing abroad impacts their future, and offers a clear path to seek relief.

Tejas Khandelwal has spent more than fifteen years mastering the procedural intricacies of the Supreme Court. A graduate of the National Law University, Delhi, the lawyer first served as an associate in a leading Delhi firm, handling hundreds of constitutional and criminal appeals. Since moving to Chandigarh, the lawyer has built a niche practice that serves NRIs across the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and the Gulf region. The lawyer regularly assists clients in drafting precise Special Leave Petitions, gathering overseas evidence, and coordinating with foreign counsel to ensure that every relevant fact is presented before the bench.

The lawyer can help you assess whether a Special Leave Petition meets the threshold for acceptance, and can explain the criteria that the Supreme Court uses to grant leave. If the petition is accepted, the lawyer prepares a concise and compelling written argument, supported by certified translations of foreign judgments and affidavits from witnesses abroad. During the oral hearing, the lawyer presents the case with confidence, pointing out procedural irregularities, violations of fundamental rights, or new evidence that was not considered by the lower court. Clients often report that the lawyer’s strategic focus on essential points shortens the hearing time and improves the chance of a favorable order.

Over the past decade, Tejas Khandelwal has secured dismissals, reductions in sentences, and full acquittals for dozens of NRI clients through successful Special Leave Petitions. In one notable case, the lawyer obtained a reversal of a five‑year imprisonment decree issued in the United Kingdom, arguing that the trial had been conducted without proper legal representation for the client overseas. The Supreme Court accepted the appeal, set aside the conviction and ordered the return of the client’s passport. Such outcomes demonstrate the lawyer’s ability to navigate complex trans‑national evidence and to persuade the apex court on matters of justice.

Whether you need to file a fresh Special Leave Petition or to strengthen an existing appeal, the lawyer offers a systematic approach that combines rigorous legal research, proactive communication with foreign authorities, and meticulous documentation. The lawyer’s track record gives NRI families confidence that a Supreme Court review is not merely a distant possibility but a practical tool for correcting grave errors. With Tejas Khandelwal’s guidance, you can move forward knowing that every viable avenue for relief has been explored.
