The Supreme Court's attempt to broker peace in the Kapur family dispute has hit an early hurdle after Rani Kapur filed a plea against Priya Kapur, accusing her of attempting a 'forced takeover' of the disputed estate.
Rani Kapur moved a fresh application before the apex court alleging that Priya Kapur and others were continuing efforts to assume control over key companies and assets linked to the family estate despite the mediation order passed on May 7.
The court has agreed to hear the plea on May 14, and Rani Kapur has sought directions restraining Priya Kapur and other respondents from interfering with the functioning of the RK Family Trust and five companies linked to the family estate.
The dispute arises from a petition filed by Rani Kapur seeking protection of the family estate and restraint against alleged interference with assets linked to the Sona Group after the death of her son Sunjay Kapur.
