Delhi High Court Quashes Neighbour Dispute FIR, Conditions Relief on Bhandaras for Poor Children During Navratri and Diwali

The court found the case resolved through settlement with conviction prospects described as remote.

Overview

  • FIR No. 248/2020 from Jagatpuri police station under Sections 324, 506 and 34 IPC was quashed after a compromise, with the court saying further prosecution would misuse its process and burden the State.
  • The complainant appeared in court and stated she had no objection to quashing the case against her neighbours.
  • The couple must organise two community meals at Shiv Mandir in Radheypuri, each serving at least 50 children during the Navratri and Diwali periods.
  • The court directed the petitioners to submit a report with photographs after the events and provide a copy to the investigating officer.
  • The order is dated September 19 and was released later, with reports differing on authorship between Justice Anish Dayal and a bench led by Justice Sanjeev Narula while agreeing on the substance.
