A court in Delhi has dismissed a request for a quick decision on a family property dispute. The case involves properties in Raghubarpura, Gandhi Nagar. The court says there's too much confusion over who owns what.

The Background: Family Feud Over Properties

This case is a classic family drama over who gets what from the family property. Anu (now deceased) through her representative, filed a case against Suresh Verma's representatives. The main issue? How to split up the family properties left by Anu's parents, Om Prakash Verma and Chandra Wati.

The Properties in Question

At first, the fight was about seven properties, but now it's mainly about three in Raghubarpura, Gandhi Nagar, Delhi. These are:

  • Property No. X/2302
  • Property No. X/61–87
  • Property No. X/453

Anu's side says they should get a 1/6th share of the rent money, which they think is about Rs. 2.5 lakhs each month. But Suresh Verma's side disagrees about the rent amount.

Who’s Who in the Family?

The family situation is complicated. Anu says there are six people who should inherit, but Suresh Verma's side says there are eight. There's also a disagreement about Dinesh Verma, who died in 1980. Anu says he didn't have kids, but Suresh Verma's side says he did.

The Court’s Journey: What Happened So Far

On December 15, 2025, the Delhi High Court, with Justices Anil Kshetrapal and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, gave their decision. An earlier order on September 11, 2025, had already turned down Anu's request for a quick judgment under a specific rule of the legal process.

The court said there were too many things not figured out yet, like:

  • The exact size of the properties
  • Who really owns them
  • The real rental income
  • The true number of people who should inherit

Why the Quick Judgment Was Denied

Anu's side wanted a quick decision, saying Suresh Verma's side had agreed to certain facts. But the court didn't agree. They said these facts weren't clear enough. The court emphasized that Anu's side needed to prove their claims with solid evidence.

What’s Next?

The court turned down Anu's appeal but left a door open. They can try again if they find clear evidence and can file a more detailed application. The court wants to see:

  • Exact details of each property
  • Proof of Anu's claimed share
  • Clear records of the rental income

Summary of Verdict

The court decided not to give a quick decision because there are too many questions that need answers. They want both sides to come back with more information and proof, so the case can go to a full trial where everything will be looked at in detail.
