Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Special Leave Petition legal templates

What is an SLP and when is it filed?

A Special Leave Petition seeks leave to appeal to the Supreme Court under Article 136 against judgments of High Courts/tribunals; if leave is granted, it converts to an appeal.

Which standard form and components does an SLP require?

SLP is in Form 28 and typically includes: list of dates/events, impugned judgment/order, the petition with supporting affidavit, appendices, and annexures arranged per registry practice.

What should the SLP affidavit contain?

Affirm personal knowledge/authority, confirm truth of petition contents, and that annexures are true copies, with proper verification and place/date as per Supreme Court formats.

How is a rejoinder affidavit used in the Supreme Court?

It responds to the respondent’s counter affidavit, confined to rebuttal, avoiding new facts not pleaded below, and verifying annexures as true copies.

How do I draft the Synopsis and List of Dates?

Provide a concise case synopsis and a chronological list of material dates/events; many matters adopt the list of dates/synopsis as the statement of case when permitted.

What is the typical paperbook order for an SLP?

Chronological dates/events and questions of law, impugned order, SLP in Form 28 with affidavit, relevant provisions, and annexures—ensuring declarations on limitation and prior filings.

What are the filing fees and basic registry requirements?

Indicatively, court fees are often ₹1,500 for SLPs (₹5,000 in special cases) and ₹200 per application; ensure complete sets, translations, vakalatnama, and certified copies as needed.

Can an SLP be withdrawn on settlement, and how?

Yes, by moving an application to withdraw; prudence is to seek specific liberty if intending further remedies, as courts scrutinize repeat filings after withdrawal.

Is a second SLP maintainable if the first was dismissed or withdrawn?

The Supreme Court has prima facie disagreed with a broad right to file a fresh SLP after non-speaking dismissal or withdrawal without leave, with issues pending larger bench consideration.

Any practical checklist for SLP filing?

Keep certified judgments, lower court paper books, translations, affidavit in support, vakalatnama, delay reasons, and arrange documents per Form 28 and the Practice & Procedure Handbook.
