Delhi High Court Rejects Arbitration Plea in Oberoi Family Estate Dispute

The Delhi High Court rejected Natasha Oberoi's plea to refer a family dispute over the estate of late hotelier P.R.S. Oberoi to arbitration, ruling that such matters involving wills, inheritance, and succession must be resolved by civil courts. The court found no valid arbitration agreement in the company's Articles of Association and noted Natasha's position as managing director but not a shareholder. The dispute centers on conflicting wills and control over Oberoi group entities following P.R.S. Oberoi's death in November 2023.
