Supreme Court Orders Status Quo and Mediation in Sridevi Chennai Property Dispute
The Supreme Court has directed parties to maintain status quo and pursue mediation in a dispute over a 2.7 to 4.7-acre Chennai property linked to late actress Sridevi. The land was acquired by Sridevi and her family in 1988, but claimants MC Sivakami, MC Natarajan, and Chandrabhanu allege they are legal heirs of the original owner and challenge the sale deeds as fraudulent. The Madras High Court ruled in favor of the Kapoor family, but the claimants appealed to the Supreme Court, which scheduled the next hearing for December 18.
