Quick Summary: A legal fight over a property in New Delhi takes a new turn as the Delhi High Court changes a previous decision, allowing the case to go to trial. The case involves family disagreements, hidden information, and questions about who owns the property.
Back in 2005, the people who started the case asked for the division of a property located at 9/56, Kirti Nagar Industrial Area, New Delhi. This property originally belonged to the late Sardar Rawel Singh. The people involved in the case, all family members, claimed rights to this property, leading to a complicated legal fight.
On July 27, 2005, the court temporarily stopped the defendants from selling or changing the property. However, the defendants argued that parts of the property had already been sold, leading to a reconsideration of this decision.
In 2006, Smt. Jaspal Kaur was added to the case after claims about her rights to the property came up. Despite her involvement, no official documents had been made to transfer the ownership.
Fast forward to 2009, the court threw out the case, saying the plaintiffs hid important information. Specifically, Harjit Singh didn't tell the court about agreements made about the property and supposedly broke a court promise from 1998.
The court also noted that Harjit Singh had received Rs. 26 lakhs for part of the property and had given possession to Smt. Jaspal Kaur without telling other family members.
"The plaintiffs were guilty of hiding important facts," noted the court in its dismissal.
Harjit Singh and Narender Singh, the people who appealed, argued that the dismissal was too early. They claimed they were not given a fair chance to show their evidence. They wanted to continue the case, with Narender Singh wanting to be the only person in charge of the case.
The Delhi High Court, led by Justices Anil Kshetrapal and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, looked over the case. They found that dismissing the case without a full trial was too harsh.
On December 23, 2025, the court changed the decision to dismiss the case. The judges emphasized that the plaintiffs should have the chance to present their case and evidence.
"Throwing out a civil case without a full trial is a drastic action," the court stated.
The case will now be looked at again, allowing the plaintiffs to prove their claims about the property.
The parties are scheduled to appear before the court again on January 13, 2026. The case will continue, focusing on the plaintiffs' claims and the validity of the agreements involving Smt. Jaspal Kaur.
