Delhi High Court Quashes Cross FIRs in Neighbour Spat, Orders Pizza-and-Chaach Community Service

The judge said a negotiated settlement made prosecution unnecessary, prompting a monitored restorative measure.

Overview

  • In a September 19 order, Justice Arun Monga quashed two cross FIRs that followed a dispute between neighbours over handling their pets.
  • The court held that continuing the case after an amicable settlement would serve no useful purpose and amount to an abuse of process.
  • Both sides must jointly fund and deliver Amul chaach tetra packs with mix-vegetable pizzas to every resident, attendant and staff member at Sanskar Ashram near G.T.B. Hospital in Dilshad Garden.
  • The delivery is to be treated as community service undertaken together by the complainants and the accused.
  • Quality control will be overseen by the investigating officer, who received the menu on WhatsApp; the court noted one party runs a pizza business.
