Filing a pil in the supreme court of india

Samba Kolusu (Querist) 18 September 2013 This query is : Resolved
Hi all,
I want to file a PIL in the Supreme Court of India to strike down a previously enacted constitutional amendment as unconstitutional.

I have prepared the PIL and tried to register it online by e-Filing the case; however, I could not login to the e-Filing website after registering as a new user (petitioner-in-person). I guess it is some problem with the site.

As a result, i am left with filing the PIL directly at the Registrar of the Supreme Court of India.

Should I go to SCI registrar's office in New Delhi? How else can I pay the fee for the case? Moreover, it is a pity that the website meant for e-Filing of cases has become useless by not even letting the users login to the system.

I am from Andhra Pradesh and New Delhi is quite far to me; so seeking the advice of the experts on how i can proceed to file this PIL in the Supreme Court of India. I am not averse to going to Delhi but searching for a better option, if available.

Nanda Sir, thanks for your quick response; I have a few questions here, and i would be grateful if you could answer those.

How much would it cost, on an average, to take the help of a Supreme Court lawyer in cases involving constitutional law for the benefit of the public at large?

Could you please suggest a couple of names whom i can contact for taking the matter further?

Would you be interested in taking up this case?

Let me add that i prepared the draft PIL with whatever little knowledge i have about the Constitution of India, and feel confident that i have a strong chances of success. I can share that draft PIL in private message if you wish to have a look at.
