Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Delhi High Court (Amit Sharma, J) dismissed an Article 227 petition challenging the order dated 21.04.2026 of Family Court-02, Saket, whereby the learned Executing Court had declined preponement of the petitioner's application dated 17.04.2026 in execution proceedings Ex. 426/2022 ('Jaspreet Singh v. Swaneet Kukreja & Ors.') arising from the mutual consent order dated 11.12.2020 in W.P.(C) 8614/2020. The Court found no grounds for interference as the application, along with the prayer for coercive steps against the JDs, stood already listed for 10.07.2026; it nonetheless requested the Executing Court to expedite the hearing without undue adjournments. Contempt proceedings of 2021 concerning the 11.12.2020 order remain pending separately before the High Court.
