In a recent decision on November 28, 2025, the High Court of Delhi changed a previous ruling that dismissed a property case involving Ram Kishor and Kanwal Singh & Others. Here's a simpler breakdown of what happened.
On March 15, 2016, a judge had turned down Ram Kishor's case. The case was about dividing the property, getting an account of it, and stopping others from using it permanently. The rejection was based on two main reasons:
Ram Kishor, with the help of Mr. V.P. Rana, challenged the decision. The appeal was heard by Mr. Justice Anil Kshetarpal and Mr. Justice Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar.
Issues with Previous Case: The court noted that the first case was turned down because it wasn't clear enough. The current appeal argued that the rejection shouldn't have happened without looking closely at the details and final decision of the previous case.
Mistake About Previous Decision: The appeal pointed out that the judge shouldn't have dismissed the case based on the idea that it was already decided without looking closely at the past evidence and decisions.
Dispute About Land Location: The appeal also argued against the claim that the property wasn't in a residential area. Ram Kishor insisted that the property was indeed in the residential and old areas of village Alipur, Delhi.
"Turning down the case at the start has very serious consequences," the judgment noted, stressing the need for a careful look before dismissing.
The High Court found that the initial rejection was not justified and canceled the order. The case was put back to its original state, allowing it to continue. The parties were told to appear before the judge on December 8, 2025.
This decision shows how important it is to carefully review legal decisions, especially in property cases where the outcomes can be significant.
