About the Advocate – Supreme Court of India, New Delhi

The practice at KV Law is led by an Advocate-on-Record at the Supreme Court of India, based in New Delhi. The advocate is enrolled with the Bar Council of India and holds the designation of Advocate-on-Record (AoR), which is conferred by the Supreme Court of India upon advocates who qualify through the AoR examination conducted by the Court. This designation authorises the advocate to file and conduct cases directly before the Supreme Court of India.

Educational Background

The advocate holds a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree from the National Law University, Odisha (2013–2018), one of the premier national law universities in India. In addition, the advocate has completed a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from the Jindal Global Law School (2024–2025), deepening expertise in areas of constitutional law, criminal jurisprudence, and regulatory practice.

The combination of undergraduate legal education at a national law university and postgraduate study at a globally oriented law school has provided a strong foundation in both Indian domestic law and comparative legal principles. This academic grounding informs the practice’s approach to complex legal questions that arise before the Supreme Court and the High Courts.

Professional Training and Experience

Prior to establishing an independent practice, the advocate trained under senior practitioners at the Supreme Court of India. This included a period of training under Mr. Siddharth Luthra, Senior Advocate, who has appeared in some of the most significant criminal matters before the Supreme Court. The advocate also served as an Associate at Agarwal Law Associates, a leading Supreme Court litigation firm, gaining extensive experience in drafting, research, and court appearances across a range of complex matters.

This training provided exposure to matters involving serious criminal offences, economic crimes, constitutional challenges, and proceedings under special statutes. The experience gained during this period forms the basis of the rigorous, research-driven approach that the practice brings to every matter it handles.

Advocate-on-Record Designation

The Advocate-on-Record designation is a qualification unique to the Supreme Court of India. Only advocates who have completed the requisite period of training under a Senior Advocate or an Advocate-on-Record, and who have passed the AoR examination, are permitted to file cases directly before the Supreme Court. This ensures that matters before the highest court of the land are handled by advocates who possess the necessary competence and familiarity with the Court’s procedures and practice.

As an Advocate-on-Record, the advocate is authorised to file Special Leave Petitions (SLPs), appeals, writ petitions, transfer petitions, bail applications, and all other proceedings before the Supreme Court of India. This direct access to the Court’s filing and listing procedures enables efficient handling of time-sensitive matters, including urgent bail applications and stay petitions.

Areas of Practice

The practice focuses on the following areas: criminal defence and bail matters before the Supreme Court; white-collar crime and economic offences; matters under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA); proceedings involving the CBI, ED, and other central agencies; constitutional and writ petitions; Special Leave Petitions and appeals; transfer petitions; matters under the NDPS Act; SEBI and securities law proceedings; and civil and commercial litigation before the Supreme Court and High Courts.

Courts and Forums

The advocate regularly appears before the Supreme Court of India, the High Court of Delhi, and the High Court of Patna. Matters are also handled before various tribunals, commissions, and statutory bodies across the country, depending on the nature and forum of the proceedings.
