Quick Summary: On December 11, 2025, the Delhi High Court, under Judge Girish Kathpalia, settled a long-standing eviction disagreement between Kaval Bajaj and Suman Ghandiok & others. The case was resolved through a financial agreement, restoring the original eviction decision.
In this case, Kaval Bajaj initially filed an eviction request under a specific rule of the Delhi Rent Control Act. This was against Suman Ghandiok and others, who were renters. The eviction request was initially approved without the renters being present, known as ex-parte.
The renters, led by Suman Ghandiok, challenged the eviction. They filed an application to overturn the decision, which was dismissed by the Rent Controller. However, they appealed again, and the Rent Control Tribunal overturned the eviction decision, leading to more legal back-and-forth.
On December 11, 2025, both parties agreed to a settlement. Kaval Bajaj handed over a bank draft of ₹4,50,00,000 to Suman Ghandiok. This amount was for the cost of items, including antiques, left behind by the renters.
"The amount of ₹4,50,00,000 is being paid towards the cost of items including antiques left behind."
Judge Girish Kathpalia, after hearing both sides, found the settlement legal and satisfactory. The court restored the original eviction decision, and the case was closed with mutual agreement.
"The disagreements between the parties are completely settled through a legal settlement."
The case was officially closed, with all applications resolved, and a scheduled hearing for April 23, 2026, was canceled. This resolution shows how settlements can effectively resolve disagreements, saving time and resources for everyone involved.
