A long-running dispute over a Chennai property linked to late actress Sridevi has reached the Supreme Court. The court has issued notices to filmmaker Boney Kapoor and his daughters, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor.
The dispute concerns a 2.7-acre property on Chennai’s East Coast Road, which Sridevi and her family purchased in 1988. Two siblings have challenged the sale deed, claiming the property was part of their ancestral inheritance and that their rights were overlooked.
The Madras High Court had earlier dismissed their plea, citing the delay in filing the case and describing it as vexatious. The petitioners then approached the Supreme Court, which is now examining the matter.
The Supreme Court has directed all parties to maintain the status quo on the property’s possession, transfer and construction. The court has also encouraged both sides to explore a settlement through mediation before the next hearing in December. The dispute will now be decided through the ongoing legal process unless the parties reach an agreement through mediation.
