A Special Leave Petition (SLP) is a legal remedy available in the Indian legal system, primarily under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of India. It is a discretionary remedy that allows individuals or entities to appeal to the Supreme Court for challenging decisions made by lower courts or tribunals. The Constitution of India under Article 136 vests the Supreme Court of India with a special power to grant special leave to appeal against any judgment or order or decree in any matter or cause, passed or made by any Court/tribunal in the territory of India. It is to be used in case any substantial constitutional question of law is involved, or gross injustice has been done. The Supreme Court of India may refuse to grant the leave to appeal by exercising its discretion. An aggrieved party from the judgment or decree of high court cannot claim special leave to appeal as a right but it is a privilege which the Supreme Court of India may grant or not.

SLP can be filed in a case where a substantial question of law arises or gross injustice has been done. SLP can be filed against any judgment or decree or order of any High Court/tribunal in the territory of India. The court may grant or refuse to grant the leave to appeal. The Supreme Court exercises its discretion carefully when granting special leave, as it aims to balance the need for justice with the need for finality in legal proceedings.

In summary, SLP is a discretionary remedy that allows individuals or entities to appeal to the Supreme Court of India for challenging decisions made by lower courts or tribunals. It is to be used in case any substantial constitutional question of law is involved, or gross injustice has been done.
