Filing a case in the Supreme Court of India requires certain procedures to be followed. Here are the steps involved:

  1. Hire a lawyer: Filing a case in the Supreme Court requires a lawyer, as the Court does not allow individuals to represent themselves. You can search for a lawyer who specializes in the area of law that your case falls under.
  2. Draft a Special Leave Petition (SLP): The SLP is the primary document that needs to be filed in the Supreme Court. It is a request to the Supreme Court to grant permission to hear the appeal. The SLP should contain details of the case, the legal issues involved, the grounds on which the appeal is being made, and any other relevant information.
  3. File the SLP in the Supreme Court: The SLP must be filed within 90 days of the date of the judgment or order being challenged. The filing can be done either in person or through a lawyer. The filing fee varies depending on the nature of the case.
  4. Serve notice to the other party: After filing the SLP, a copy of it must be served to the other party. This is done through the registered post or through a process server.
  5. Wait for a response: After receiving the SLP, the Supreme Court may issue notice to the other party asking them to respond. If the Court is satisfied with the petition, it may grant leave to appeal.
  6. Prepare for the hearing: If the leave is granted, the petitioner must prepare for the hearing. This involves gathering evidence, preparing arguments, and responding to any questions that may be asked during the hearing.
  7. Attend the hearing: On the day of the hearing, the petitioner must attend the Court along with their lawyer. The Supreme Court will hear both parties and make a decision based on the merits of the case.
  8. Judgment: After hearing the arguments, the Supreme Court gives its judgment. The judgment may be in favor of one party or the other or may dismiss the case.
