“Milkiyat ki Jang mein na jaane kitne afsaane hue, Kuch hi apne the, Vo bhi ab begaane hue.

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.

Bankar beti, rishto ko bachaana hoga, Sabhi naato ko nibhana hoga.

Kya rakkha hai is Jang mein koi bataayega, Aakhir is Dharti se kaun kya hi le jaayega.”

Soni was arrested on July 12. As per the reply of the Delhi Police, a court had given the direction qua possession of the property in favour of the complainant.

It was stated that there were many PCR calls, complaints, NCR against the accused and that Soni had also being prosecuted for preventive action.

Soni's counsel submitted that it was not a case of illegal possession because his mother herself had given the possession to him on the oral agreement.

It was contended that there were photographs of Soni and his family which were clearly reflecting that they were already in possession of the property before July 10.

His counsel said that if there was illegal possession and trespassing at the end of Soni, why contempt and eviction proceeding were not initiated against him.

On a specific query of the court, the IO submitted that till now, no CCTV footage or video was recovered which could reflect that Soni had broken the lock of the property and entered into the property on July 10 or before.

“After considering the facts and circumstances of the case, court is inclined to grant the bail to the accused Nitin Soni…,” the judge said.
