About Supreme Court Litigation

In Indian Supreme Courts, judicial litigation and the procedure of the proceedings are the legal processes used. They supervise the zenith tier of the hierarchy of judiciary and practically encompass the ‘Court of Decider’ administering the sanctity of the Constitution.
Litigation at the Supreme Court requires the highest level of expertise, in addition to significant legal research and world-class advocacy. Attorneys focused on practice before the Supreme Court must be familiar with the law of the land and the machinations of Supreme Court rules and procedures.

Some aspects of Supreme Court practice include :

• Special Leave Petitions (SLPs): There is only one avenue for recourse to the Supreme Court, viz., filing an SLP under Article 136 of the Constitution.SLPs are granted in all cases where substantial questions of law or the High Court’s judgment have been raised, which in turn could result in a miscarriage of justice or pertain to significant questions of public importance.
• Constitutional Matters: This is one of the important areas in which the Supreme Court works to interpret and implement the Constitution of India. In fact, this court is very important in giving judgments on issues of constitutional validity, fundamental rights, and constitutional provisions’ interpretations.
  
• Public Interest Litigation: The Supreme Court has also initiated Public Interest Litigation as well as recognizing such litigation before giving judgments on such matters of public concern.
• Advisory Jurisdiction: The President of India may request the opinion of the Supreme Court on any matter of law or fact of public importance under Article 143 of the Constitution.
• Original Jurisdiction: The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in respect of certain matters, such as disputes between the Government of India and one or more States, or between two or more States.

When appearing in the Supreme Court, practising attorneys require careful preparation, intense legal research, and articulate advocacy. The lawyers have to go very closely to case law, relevant legal precedents, and arguments that reflect the concerns of the court.
The judgments pronounced by the Supreme Court make an essential impact on Indian society and law. Its pronouncements on constitutional issues, human rights, and social justice have shaped the legal and political landscape of the nation.
