The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice in a plea filed by Rani Kapur, mother of late businessman Sanjay Kapur, in relation to the estate case being fought between his family and kids, and his widow Priya Sachdev Kapur.
The court sought responses from Priya Sachdev Kapur and 22 others, indicating that mediation should be the way forward to resolve the family dispute, especially observing that Rani is 80-years-old.
Rani Kapur welcomes the Supreme Court's suggestion, stating that she seeks only truth, dignity, and the protection of what is rightfully hers and her family's.
The court bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and Vijay Bishnoi observed that courtroom battles may not be in anyone's interest and strongly suggested mediation, noting, 'Go for mediation once and for all, from A to Z. Otherwise, this is a waste.'
The dispute originated with the suit filed by Rani Kapur where she challenged the creation of the Rani Kapur Family Trust, alleging that it was structured in a way that stripped her of control over her estate, including interests in the Sona Group.
