Constitutional & Public Law

Advocacy at the level of the Constitution itself — where individual rights, public interest and the machinery of the State meet.

This practice dates back to 1989, when the firm first extended its criminal litigation roots into constitutional law and writ jurisdiction. It remains some of the firm’s highest-stakes work — matters where the client is not just seeking a favourable order, but testing the limits of state power against individual and public rights.

Within This Practice

Petitions before the High Courts and Supreme Court under Articles 32 and 226.

Public Interest Litigation (PIL)

Litigation brought in the public interest on matters of governance, rights and accountability.

Fundamental Rights & Judicial Review

Challenges to state action and legislation on constitutional and fundamental-rights grounds.
