Quick Summary: On December 15, 2025, the Delhi High Court settled a property disagreement between Hari Singh and Kitabo Devi. The case involved a disagreement over payments related to a property in Uttam Nagar, Delhi.
This case started with a request to make someone stick to an agreement about a property in Mansa Ram Park, Uttam Nagar, Delhi. Hari Singh wanted the court to make sure the agreement about the property was followed, but things got messy.
During the case, Hari Singh said he paid Kitabo Devi Rs. 4,50,000. However, Kitabo Devi only admitted to getting Rs. 2,50,000. The rest of the payments were in question because Kitabo Devi said she didn't sign the receipts for them.
"The evidence on record shows that the said signatures of the respondent on the alleged receipts for further payments have not been proved before the learned Trial Court."
Justice Mini Pushkarna suggested a solution. Since Kitabo Devi admitted to receiving Rs. 2,50,000 in 2012, the court proposed she return Rs. 3,00,000 as a one-time payment to settle the matter. Kitabo Devi's lawyer agreed after talking with her husband.
"The respondent shall return an amount of Rs. 3,00,000 to the appellant."
On December 11, 2025, a payment order for Rs. 3,00,000 was prepared by Punjab National Bank in Uttam Nagar. This payment order was given to Hari Singh's lawyer in court, marking the end of the disagreement.
After the settlement, Hari Singh's lawyer asked for a refund of court fees. The court agreed to refund 50% of the fees since the case was settled peacefully.
"The Registry of this Court is directed to issue a certificate in favour of the appellant, for refund of Court Fees to the extent of 50%."
With these actions, the appeal was closed, bringing an end to the long-standing disagreement.
