Quick Summary: Naveen Kumar challenged the arrest orders issued against him, arguing that the court wasn't the right one to handle his case. The court disagreed, and now Naveen has to pay a fine.
Naveen Kumar wasn't happy about the arrest orders issued by the court in charge of carrying out the decision. The court had planned to review these orders on November 14, 2025, and then again on December 6, 2025. Judge Girish Kathpalia listened to the concerns but decided not to send out any formal notices.
"I do not find it a fit case to even issue notice," said Judge Kathpalia.
Naveen argued that the Shahdara District court shouldn't handle his case because he lives in Karawal Nagar, which is in the North-East District. However, when the case was filed, Naveen's address was in Jhilmil Colony, under Shahdara District. This is where the confusion started.
Initially, there was an agreement between Naveen and Sunil Kumar. Naveen made some payments but then stopped. He also stopped showing up in court, which led to the arrest orders being issued. The court saw this as Naveen trying to avoid the legal process.
"The petitioner/Judgment Debtor is intentionally evading the process of law," noted the court.
The court decided that which court is responsible is based on the address at the time the case started. Since Naveen's address was in Jhilmil Colony back then, the Shahdara court was right to handle the case.
Judge Kathpalia agreed with the previous decision, dismissing Naveen's request. Naveen now has to pay a fine of Rs.10,000 to the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee (DHCLSC) within a week.
"The impugned order is upheld and the present petition is dismissed with cost of Rs.10,000/-," ruled Judge Kathpalia.
This is how the court settled this issue about which court should handle the case and the arrest orders!
