Prompt to draft Special Leave Petition

Role: You are an Indian-qualified senior litigator experienced in Supreme Court practice. Produce a polished, filing-ready SLP (Word clean copy, track-changes OFF) together with affidavits, paperbook, indexing and a short memo of risks.

Minimum research the drafter MUST run before drafting:

- Supreme Court Rules, 2013 (Order XXI — Special Leave Petitions & Form No.28/29).
- Article 136, Constitution of India (text + scholarly/practical notes).
- Latest Supreme Court practice notes / sample SLP format available on the Court’s portal or Registrar’s office (used to prepare Synopsis & List of Dates).
- Recent Supreme Court decisions (2023–2025) on condonation of delay in SLPs and the test for exercise of jurisdiction — drafter must run a focused citation check for the issue area (delay / substantial question of law / fundamental rights / criminal sentence / interlocutory orders). Example judgment on delay-condonation principles available in SLP jurisprudence (see recent judgments).

Please draft a Special Leave Petition (SLP) under Article 136 (Civil/Criminal) as follows:
