Delhi High Court Resolves Neighbour Dispute, Orders Mandatory Food Distribution for 50 Poor Children

National News: A long-standing dispute between two neighbors in the capital has been resolved by the Delhi High Court. The court conditionally quashed the FIR filed during the dispute and directed the accused couple to organize a feast for poor children in the area. A bench headed by Justice Anish Dayal stated that the court's objective is not only to resolve disputes but also to promote cooperation and collective well-being in society. The bench suggested the accused couple organize a feast for at least 50 poor children during Navratri and Diwali. This would not only provide food to the children but also help promote mutual understanding and harmony in the area.

Resolution and Settlement of the Case

The court also quashed the FIR filed by the woman against the accused couple for assault and threats. The complainant told the court that a complete settlement had been reached between the two parties and that they had no objection to the FIR being quashed. The court stated that once a settlement has been reached between the parties, there would be no benefit in continuing any legal proceedings. Furthermore, unnecessary extension of the trial process not only strains the court's resources but also burdens the state's revenue.

Directive to Submit Report of the Bhandara

The bench directed the accused husband and wife to organize a Bhandara and submit photographs and a report to the court. A copy of the report should also be given to the investigating officer. The court clarified that this order is not merely a punishment, but a measure that will promote the spirit of empathy and cooperation in society, while also resolving the dispute.

Social Message

This High Court decision also sends a strong social message. The court not only focused on resolving the dispute, but also linked it to the welfare of vulnerable sections of society—especially poor children. The court also indicated that prioritizing mutual understanding and the common good, rather than conflict and violence, is the right path. This court order is expected to foster a spirit of harmony and cooperation in the area, reducing such disputes in the future. Providing food to poor children through the community kitchen and promoting positive activities in the community represents a new direction for dispute resolution by the court.
