Summary: On December 8, 2025, the Delhi High Court, led by Judge Girish Kathpalia, dismissed Ravinder Yadav's request against Deepak Yadav and another person. The court found the request pointless and made Ravinder Yadav pay a penalty.

The Initial Court Order

The case started with a decision from the lower court on November 20, 2025. Ravinder Yadav's request under a general rule for court procedures was turned down, while another request to add more documents to the case was accepted, but with a penalty. Judge Girish Kathpalia looked over these decisions in the Delhi High Court.

"Ravinder Yadav/plaintiff has challenged the order dated 20.11.2025 of the lower court..." — Judge Girish Kathpalia

Ravinder Yadav's Stand

Ravinder Yadav chose to speak for himself in court, turning down the chance to get a lawyer. He wanted to talk to the court directly, which the judge allowed.

The Dismissed Application

Ravinder Yadav's request under the general rule for court procedures was turned down because he couldn't explain what it was about. The court found the request pointless and fined him Rs. 2,000. The judge mentioned that sometimes lawyers write requests and have people represent themselves when things get tough.

"The application was dismissed with a penalty of Rs. 2,000/-." — Court Order

The Allowed Application

Ravinder Yadav's second request, about adding extra documents, was accepted by the court, but he was fined Rs. 500 for being late.

Final Verdict

The High Court found Ravinder Yadav's request not only without any good reason but also a waste of time. Judge Kathpalia dismissed it with a penalty of Rs. 10,000, to be paid to the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within a week. This decision was shared with the lower court for its information.

"The present petition is found not just devoid of merit but completely frivolous..." — Judge Girish Kathpalia

This case shows how important it is to present well-thought-out requests and the possible outcomes of wasting the court's time.
