Summary: On December 18, 2025, the Delhi High Court decided in favor of Rajesh Gupta, who was trying to stop an eviction case against Asha & Anr. The court canceled a previous decision that was slowing down the eviction process.
Rajesh Gupta was dealing with an eviction order from April 24, 2025. The eviction was delayed by the court on November 28, 2025, even though there was no official pause on the eviction. This was a big deal because normally, if there's no pause, the eviction should happen.
"Rajesh Gupta has challenged the order dated 28.11.2025 of the learned execution court..."
Asha had asked for the eviction order to be looked at again. The court decided to wait on the eviction because they thought starting it would make the review pointless. However, Rajesh Gupta's lawyers argued that eviction orders can't be looked at again by a Rent Controller.
"An eviction order cannot be reviewed by a Rent Controller."
Justice Girish Kathpalia noticed that the court handling the eviction was the same one that issued the eviction order and received the review request. Despite this, the court didn't officially pause the eviction. Justice Kathpalia stressed that without a clear pause order, the eviction should not be delayed.
"Unless there is a clear order to pause the judgment and decree, the eviction must not be delayed."
On December 18, 2025, the High Court canceled the court's previous decision and told them to speed up the eviction process. The court wants everything sorted out within three months.
"The petition is allowed with the directions to speed up the handling of the eviction proceedings..."
The court will now have to follow the High Court's order and proceed with the eviction of Asha & Anr. This case highlights the importance of clear court processes and timely carrying out of court orders in eviction cases.
