Madras High Court Rejects Plea to Dismiss Lawsuit on Sridevi's ECR Property

The Madras High Court rejected a plea by filmmaker Boney Kapoor and his daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor to dismiss a lawsuit challenging ownership of a 4.77-acre property on East Coast Road bought by the late actress Sridevi in 1988. The court termed the claim by three individuals, who allege descent from the original seller, as vexatious and unsustainable. The dispute involves claims by a woman named Chandrabanu and her children, asserting rights as relatives of the original owner, which the lower Chengalpattu court had not dismissed.
