The Delhi High Court has taken back a compromise agreement from 2006 after discovering fake signatures and bank accounts. The case, involving properties in Delhi, was brought by Narender Kumar Agarwal and others against Pradeep Gupta and others.
On December 15, 2025, Justice Jyoti Singh made an important decision in the Delhi High Court. The case started in 2001, with Narender Kumar Agarwal and others wanting to divide and declare ownership of two properties: one in Fatehpuri and the other in Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar. The disagreement involved family members of the late Radhey Lal Gupta.
Narender Kumar Agarwal and others said that the compromise was obtained by cheating. Sushil Gupta, one of the people involved, said he never agreed to the compromise or signed any related papers. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) was told to look into these claims.
"The compromise agreement is ruined by cheating and is invalid," stated the court.
The investigation showed surprising facts:
Justice Singh found truth in the claims of cheating. The court noted that Narender Kumar Agarwal and others, especially Sushil Gupta, were not informed about the settlement. The judgment stressed the court's responsibility to ensure that legal actions are free from cheating.
"Cheating ruins everything, and a decision obtained by cheating is nothing," the court declared.
The court took back the compromise agreement, returning the case to its original state. This decision shows the court's role in protecting justice and ensuring that cheating does not damage legal processes.
The case is set to appear again before the Roster Bench on January 12, 2026, marking a new chapter in this long-standing legal battle.
