thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Encourages Mediation in Sona Group Inheritance Dispute Involving Rani Kapur
The Supreme Court of India urged 80-year-old Rani Kapur to pursue mediation in the inheritance dispute over the Sona Group estate following the death of industrialist Sanjay Kapur. Rani Kapur alleges that a family trust was fraudulently created to transfer control of assets without her informed consent, especially during her recovery from a stroke. The court encouraged an amicable settlement to avoid prolonged litigation, while reserving the right to hear the case on merits. The dispute involves substantial assets and multiple family members.
