Summary: On December 17, 2025, the High Court of Delhi allowed Ghanshyam Khohar to install an iron grill in his New Delhi home for security reasons. This decision overturned a previous order that denied his request.
This case involves Ghanshyam Khohar, who wanted to put up an iron grill at his home in Sarvodaya Enclave, New Delhi. The grill was meant to make the first-floor area he lives in safer. The home is shared with renters who live in the back part, which is owned by the family members of Madan Mohan.
On November 19, 2024, a judge denied Ghanshyam Khohar's request to install the grill. The denial was because it wasn't clear where the grill would be placed and there were worries about getting to sewer and water pipes in the open courtyard.
"The Court was unable to understand the Plaintiff's explanation about where the proposed grill would be installed."
During the appeal, Ghanshyam Khohar showed a layout plan to explain where the grill would go. The court, led by Judges Anil Kshetrapal and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, found the appeal acceptable under a specific section of the Delhi High Court Act, 1966.
"This Court believes that the Order questioned here can be appealed under Section 10 of the Delhi High Court Act, 1966."
The court's decision allows Ghanshyam Khohar to make his home safer while ensuring that Madan Mohan's family members can still get to the areas they need for repairs.
