supreme court lawyers contact number

Things to keep in mind while dealing with Supreme Court matters:

Appeals to the Supreme Court are highly record sensitive. A matter with a serious legal grievance can still fail if the incorrect order is challenged, the annexures are incomplete, the delay is not explained, or if it is presented as a routine third appeal when it is not. This article is dedicated to helping you understand what questions to ask on the first call, what documents you should send beforehand, and when you might need to act urgently.

Why call the correct contact number before filing anything in Supreme Court?

Every phone call or meeting can determine the entire matter. There is no such thing as filing in Supreme Court just because a party disagrees with a decision made earlier. The proposed filing must fall under a known jurisdiction: constitutional, appellate, statutory, transfer, review, curative, contempt, or another appropriate jurisdiction heard by the Court. A lawyer will first determine if there is a legal error in the challenged order or if the disagreement is based on facts. Only after determining this will they know if the Supreme Court can be approached.

People from Delhi, New Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, Meerut, Lucknow, Jaipur, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and other cities in India can email the documents. Often, the location of a matter is not the immediate issue. Missing documents, poorly explained chronology, unexplained delay, and unreasonable expectations do far more damage. Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh review the challenged order, present procedural posture, urgency of the matter, and goal before recommending the next legal step.

Please note that this consultation number is for Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh’s legal services, not the Supreme Court of India’s Registry telephone numbers. The Registry will provide court administration and processing services for your Supreme Court case; however, the Registry will not recommend you pick a lawyer, pay legal fees on your behalf or give you personal legal strategy. The official Supreme Court website has separate pages for Supreme Court filing services, case status, online forms and rules, listing of Advocates-on-Record, and Supreme Court Registry phone numbers.

Which Supreme Court filing is appropriate for your matter?

It depends on the order from which you are filing, what statute applies to your rights, and what proceedings have been already happened. Special Leave Petitions are commonly used to approach Supreme Court against all kinds of judgments and orders. However, special leave is a discretion and not an automatic second appeal. Articles 32, statutory appeals, transfer petitions, review and curative petitions are all different processes with different purposes.

Article 32 of the Indian Constitution is the Supreme Court’s enforcement power for the fundamental rights of citizens. Articles 132 to 134 explain the constitutional, civil and criminal appellate process. Article 136 allows for filing of special leave from a judgment, decree or order from almost any court or tribunal. Review of judgments or orders is found under Article 137 and curative jurisdiction is very limited and comes into play by following a review petition that has been dismissed.

The Rules of the Supreme Court, 2013 (along with amendments) and the Supreme Court’s practice directions control how matters must be filed, what defects allow for rejection, how to serve a petition, how listing is done, and how a lawyer will appear in your Supreme Court matter. Section 30 of the Advocates Act protects an enrolled advocate’s right to practise law unless otherwise limited by these rules (including the Advocate-on-Record system).

Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh will first determine if your matter falls under the correct jurisdictional door. Filing the wrong proceeding will waste your time and may harm your other options.

Who should call us?

You should call us when you do not want the situation to become worse. Whether you have just received an order from the High Court, State Tribunal, Cancellation Order, convicting order, bail order, Commercial/Appellate order from ARBT, Service order, Family / Custody order from Family Court, Property Judgment/order from District Court, Civil Judgment/order, Insolvency appeal order, Consumer Appellate order, Environment Pollution Case Order or any other order you believe to have a substantial legal error.

If immediate action such as arrest, surrender, demolition, dispossession, auction, recovery, license cancellation, blacklisting, deportation, child shifting, termination of essential services are scheduled to happen, you need to call us immediately. On the first call we will help you figure out the next immediate date. Sending screenshots,WhatsApp messages with photo of an order or calling with an oral information will not suffice.
Respondents: If you have received a notice that the opposite party is filing a petition in Supreme Court against you, you should also consider calling us. As a respondent, you may be required to file a caveat, compile documents, draft a chronology, and lodge preliminary objections. You will have limited time once the Supreme Court lists your matter. Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh can review both petition side and respondent side requirements upon reviewing the actual record.

Who will we be after you call?

A responsible lawyer will move from intake of your documents to discussing maintainability, limitation, selecting the right remedy, drafting and filing your matter, and coordinating with the Advocate-on-Record. In urgent matters, this order can change, but we will still need to review the impugned order and history of the case.

While on the call give us the names of the parties, case number, court or tribunal where the order was issued from, date of order, and next immediate deadline. Upload the entire judgment, pleadings, previous orders, annexures, evidence, and a one-page chronology of important dates. If you have a large file, make sure to place them in folders and label them.

A lawyer will then begin to ask you questions about what you pleaded in your earlier drafts, what relief you requested, what findings the deciding Court made against you, and if the grounds you tell us over the phone are available in the record. If your matter seems maintainable, we will discuss how we can draft your petition, what affidavits we will need, if translations are required, court fee, coordinating with the Advocate-on-Record, what urgent papers we need, and finally filing. Please see the legal services page for information on Supreme Court filing for: SLPs/ Appeals/Stay/T transfers/Reviews/Curative Petitions.

Remember, no lawyer can promise that your matter will get admission, a notice will be issued to the opposite party, you will get a stay of arrest, or free bail on the first phone call. If you tell us the next active date in your matter, we will tell you the truth about your legal options.

What documents should you send for the first call to be useful?

You should send a copy of the order from which you are challenging, the order immediately before it, your original pleadings, replies, affidavits, evidence, and any notices you received. If you believe limitation can be disputed, send proof of when the order was rendered available to you.

For criminal matters you will include the FIR, charge-sheet, bail orders, custody information, and specifics of what trial stage you’re currently at. Civil or Property matters will require title information, any Decree you received, maps, etc. Commercial matters will usually have contracts, correspondence, accounts, and arbitral records. Family matters will require salary certificates, terms of settlement if any, child custody schedule if any, and any associated orders.

Please prepare a one page note detailing the exact relief you would like to achieve from Supreme Court. Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh will be able to advise on your matter much faster if we know what you want and when you need to take action. Do not alter any documents, conceal information, or send incomplete records.

How does limitation and urgency affect when you should call a lawyer?

You should call right when you receive your order. Every judicial remedy has a different limitation period and it should not be guessed at. The limitation period can change depending on the type of matter, what statute applies, rules that apply to your facts, date of the order, when you received the copy of the order, if time can be excluded, and if you have had any earlier proceedings.

If you wait too long to call a lawyer you will have less time to gather your record, get translations done, prepare affidavits, find annexures you might have missed, cure defects and coordinate with the Advocate-on-Record. Consultation itself, drafting your petition, receiving a diary number from the Supreme Court, or attempting to file will NOT stay the order from getting enforced. If you tell us the order allows for arrest, demolition, auction, dispossession, or any other immediate coercive action on a certain date, please send us a copy of that notice showing the date on which the government or opposing party intends to act.

If you live outside of Delhi, you should still call us. Send us a scanned copy or email/upload your readable documents. You should not travel until we know you need to.

What are some mistakes that will make your consultation less effective?

Some people call us without the actual order. Something as simple as describing your order to a lawyer may leave out the key finding that decides if your matter is even maintainable in Supreme Court. Another mistake is thinking that the Supreme Court will hear your side of the story. The Supreme Court is there to correct legal error or jurisdictional mistakes, not factual disagreements.

Scaning poor quality documents, sending PDFs that will not open, not naming your file folders, secretly reached settlements, adverse facts you do not mention, and hiding delays will hurt your case. We will give you an honest chance of success if you show us the complete picture.

You should not call just to ask for a single free and total fee. Ask if the consultation fee includes drafting your petition, sending to the Advocate-on-Record, court fee, translations, any conferences, appearing with an arguing counsel, and for how long we will appear in Supreme Court. Do not call random numbers or intermediaries that offer you “contacts” in Supreme Court. Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh can be contacted at the above consultation number. The written Terms of Engagement will explain our fees and services.

What could happen if you wait too long or call the wrong lawyer?

Delay could lead to the opposing party enforcing their order, protesting your pleadings due to procedural errors, higher fees, and rushed decisions. In criminal matters this could even lead to immediate arrest. Coercive action could be initiated against you including loss of property, loss of child custody, termination of services (ESI, PF, salary), and losing commercial opportunities. The matter will get more complicated after enforcement and may take more time to correct than if you’d acted urgently.

Calling a random number may mislead you about how long you have to file, promise you relief that is not legally possible, misuse your confidential documents, or not know how to send your matter to the Supreme Court’s Advocate-on-Record. Do not give any medical records, income documents, identity cards, financial statements, business documents, or personal information to unverified numbers.

While consulting with Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh cannot guarantee your matter will succeed, it can help you understand if there is a legal remedy available, if there is something that can be done urgently, and what documents we need before the next deadline.

When should I meet the lawyer in person for my Supreme Court matter?

You should ask the lawyer if you should formally engage their services once they have told you the remedy you should file (if any), received enough documents to understand your matter, explains what they will do, and what you need to do. Get the Terms of Engagement in writing before sending confidential documents or large advance fees. The Terms should explain who does what, when fees are paid, what your responsibilities are, who the Advocate-on-Record will be, and if there will be a separate arguing counsel.

You should urgently engage a lawyer if limitation is expiring, if you need to file a caveat or urgent application, or if you are asked to surrender, lose possession of your property, or have an auction on a certain date. A trustworthy lawyer will tell you not to file if the law is against you, you have a weaker remedy available, or if the fees are too high for your matter. Advocate BK Singh & Advocate Sadhna Singh will not start on a matter unless we review your documents.
