Judicial Magistrate of First Class (JMFC) Rohit Kumar wrote a poem while granting bail to Nitin Soni, who was accused of illegal possession of a disputed property.
A judge at Delhi's Rohini Court added a poetic touch while granting bail to a man accused of illegally possessing his mother's property.
While granting bail to Nitin Soni, Judicial Magistrate of First Class (JMFC) Rohit Kumar wrote a poem, which said, ' Milkiyat ki jang mein naa jaane kitne afsane huye, Kuch hi apne the, woh bhi ab begane huye (The battle of ownership has spun countless stories, a few belonged to me and now even they feel unfamiliar.)
' Banke Krishna, Ab kisi ko aana hoga, Sadte, ladte, bigadte rishhton ko bachaana hoga. Na jaane ye Jang aur Kitni Mahabharat laayegi, Aakhir kitno ko salaakhon tak le jaayegi. (Embodying Krishna, someone will have to come to save these deteriorating and broken relationships. Who knows how many more Mahabharatas will this battle bring, and how many will be dragged behind bars.)"
The case pertained to an FIR lodged by Indu Soni at Prashant Vihar police station, accusing her son and his wife of illegally possessing her property. The court watched the CCTV footage of the alleged incident, which showed a different story than what was alleged.
Indu Saini alleged that her son, Nitin, broke open the lock of her apartment while she and her daughter had left to attend court proceedings. When she returned on July 12, she found Nitin inside the property, who hurled abuses at them.
The complainant alleged that her daughter-in-law came out with a rod and assaulted her. However, during the bail hearing, the accused's counsel argued that the case does not involve illegal possession, as the complainant had willingly handed over possession based on an oral agreement.
The counsel also showed some photographs that showed that Nitin and his family were already in possession of the property before July 10, 2025. The CCTV footage of July 14 showed the complainant's daughter entering the disputed property with people carrying rods and hammers.
According to Nitin, a Will was bequeathed in favour of the accused, as per which he was reportedly the absolute owner of the property. It was submitted to the court that the accused and his family were being tortured by the complainant with the help of police, according to the report.
'After considering the facts and circumstances of the case, court is inclined to grant the bail to the accused Nitin Soni…," the judge said.
