Delhi Court Reaffirms School Possession: Servant's Quarter Case Dismissed

A Delhi court dismissed Bhagwan Singh's suit seeking the restoration of a servant's quarter in Modern School, citing the matter as previously resolved by other courts. The order emphasized the finality of the case under 'res judicata,' as Singh had already agreed to hand over the property.

A Delhi court has dismissed a suit seeking the restoration of a servant's quarter in Modern School, citing that the matter had already been decided by previous judicial orders.

District Judge Pankaj Sharma ruled the plea by Bhagwan Singh as not maintainable, pointing to the application of res judicata, meaning the issue has already been settled conclusively.

Counsel for the school, Raavi Birbal, highlighted that Singh had agreed in the past to vacate the premises by August 31, 2016, following a Delhi High Court directive, and termed the current plea as concealing key facts.
