HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANISH DAYAL O R D E R %
29.04.2025 CM APPL. 24624/2025 & CM APPL. 25259/2025 in CONT.CAS(C) 1292/2022 & CONT.CAS(C) 280/2024 respectively (for clarification/modification of order). 1. These applications have been moved for clarification of the typographical error which is crept into the order dated 3rd April 2025 passed by this Court. The reference to the CONT.CAS(C) 1292/2022 and This is a digitally signed order.

CONT.CAS(C) 280/2024 was inadvertently swapped in the headings provided in the text of order passed on 3rd April 2025. 2. Though this is objected by Mr. Harmeet Malhotra, Advocate who appears on behalf of Mr. Rohan Khosla (Husband), on the basis that the first three paragraphs of the order did not relate to his contempt petition. 3. The Court finds his submission extremely specious and devoid of bona fides, particularly since the order is very clear and categorical. 4. To place matters in context, CONT.CAS(C) 280/2024 was filed by Rohan Khosla (Husband), premised on the issues of schooling of Reya Khosla (Younger Daughter), from Pathways School. 5. It was on this basis that the order was passed, which is encapsulated in first four paragraphs of the order. 6. Accordingly, the second part of the order, which related to CONT.CAS(C) 1292/2022, filed by the Vidushi Sharma (Wife), related to issues of pending arrears, which is obvious from the order which has been passed. 7. The submission in this regard of Mr. Harmeet Malhotra, counsel for husband/Rohan Khosla is therefore rejected. The aforesaid order was passed in open Court and the insistence of Mr. Harmeet Malhotra in this regard is uncalled for. 8. Clearly, there are some typographical errors, which need to be corrected. 9. The order dated 3rd April 2025, therefore, is being corrected, and shall read, as under:
“CONT.CAS(C) 280/2024
1. This contempt petition has been filed by Rohan Khosla which This is a digitally signed order. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

relates to the admission in the school of the younger daughter Reya Khosla; it is noted that, the event in question came to the knowledge of father, Rohan Khosla in 2017 itself. 2. The contempt petition has been filed in 2024, and is therefore, barred by limitation, as per counsel for Vidushi Sharma, which is refuted by counsel for Rohan Khosla. 3. Notwithstanding the respective contentions, in the opinion of this Court, this issue is irrelevant, at this stage; daughter Reya Khosla, was admitted to Pathways School, which is a highly reputed school in the NCR and no prejudice was caused in the upkeep and the education of the daughter; in any event the issue is stale as the daughter is now pursuing a graduation degree. 4. Accordingly, petition is dismissed. CONT.CAS(C) 1292/2022
1. This contempt petition has been filed alleging disobedience of the settlement deed, arrived at, between the parties, dated 23rd October 2008 and 03rd December 2008, based on which a decree was granted, on 11th December 2008. 2. There are some pending issues of non-compliance. 3. First, pertains to arrears, which counsel for Vidushi Sharma (wife), states that they are pursuing an execution petition before the Family Courts. 4. Second, relates to mandate that Rohan Khosla(father) shall provide 1/3rd share of the Flat bearing no. 305, Vatika Technology Park, Gurgaon, to his daughters, Tanya Khosla and Reya Khosla respectively, on them attaining the age of 24 years. 5. Ms. Tanya Sharma, who is an Advocate of this Court is present, and states that she has crossed 24 years of age, whereas her younger sister Reya Khosla is still 19 years of age. 6. Mr. Rohan Khosla assisted by his counsel states that, the said flat has since been sold and 1/3rd sale proceeds have come to his share. 7.
Considering that the elder daughter has already crossed 24 years of age, and younger daughter is 19 years of age, it would be imperative that the proceeds of 1/3rd share should be secured. 8. Accordingly, Mr. Rohan Khosla shall deposit the 1/3rd sale proceeds, within a period of six weeks, before the Registrar General of this Court, which shall be kept in an interest-bearing fixed This is a digitally signed order.

deposit, subject to further directions of this Court. 9. The sale deed of the said flat, along with statement on affidavit, detailing the proceeds which have come to his share, shall be placed on record by Mr. Rohan Khosla. A copy of the same shall be given to counsel for Ms. Vidushi Sharma. 10.List for ‘compliance’ 22nd May 2025. 11.Order be uploaded on the website of this Court.”
10. The applications are, therefore, allowed in the aforesaid terms. CONT.CAS(C) 1292/2022 & CONT.CAS(C) 280/2024
