In practice, Mahipal regularly assists clients who face harsh sentencing, missing evidence or procedural violations. The lawyer prepares exhaustive records, secures affidavits from experts and assembles comparative case law to demonstrate why the Supreme Court should intervene. Recent successes include an SLP that led the Court to overturn a life‑imprisonment sentence for a non‑violent drug possession case, emphasizing the principle of proportionality.

Clients appreciate Mahipal’s clear communication style. During the initial consultation, the lawyer explains the SLP process, the likelihood of acceptance by the Court and the possible outcomes, ranging from full acquittal to remand for fresh trial. The lawyer also outlines the timeline, noting that the Supreme Court’s docket can be lengthy but that diligent preparation can accelerate consideration.
