thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Urges Mediation in Sanjay Kapur Family Estate Dispute
The Supreme Court of India urged mediation in the inheritance dispute involving the estate of late industrialist Sanjay Kapur, advising his 80-year-old mother, Rani Kapur, to avoid prolonged litigation. Rani Kapur alleges that a family trust was fraudulently created to transfer control of key Sona Group assets without her informed consent, especially during her recovery from a stroke. The court issued notices to Sanjay Kapur's widow Priya Sachdev Kapur and others, encouraging an amicable settlement while keeping the option to hear the case on merits if mediation fails.
