In a recent decision on November 27, 2025, the Delhi High Court ruled on a case involving Sunil Nigam and Sanjeet Kumar. The court allowed Sunil Nigam to submit Sanjeet Kumar’s income tax returns as evidence in their ongoing legal dispute.
The case revolves around a decision from July 21, 2025, where the lower court denied Sunil Nigam's request to submit more documents. These documents included a family settlement and Sanjeet Kumar's income tax returns. The lower court rejected the request because Sunil couldn't explain why these documents weren't submitted earlier.
Sunil Nigam's lawyers decided not to pursue the family settlement document. However, they argued that the income tax returns were crucial. These documents were obtained during questioning in another case. Sunil’s team believed these were important for the current legal proceedings.
Sanjeet Kumar’s lawyer agreed to let the tax documents be used, but with conditions. He wanted the right to challenge how these documents would be proven in court. This means they can question whether the documents are real or important later.
Justice Girish Kathpalia decided that the documents could be submitted, but Sunil Nigam must pay Rs. 10,000 to Sanjeet Kumar as a cost. This decision allows the case to proceed more quickly while giving Sanjeet the chance to dispute the documents later.
The court's decision allows Sunil Nigam to use Sanjeet Kumar's tax documents as evidence, but he must pay Rs. 10,000 to Sanjeet. This ruling speeds up the case and ensures both parties can still argue about the documents' validity.
