Boney Kapoor moves Madras High Court over Sridevi’s Chennai property dispute Boney Kapoor and his daughters Jahnvi Kapoor and Kushi Kapoor have filed a petition in the Madras High Court to challenge an order from the additional district court in Chengalpattu. The court had rejected their request to dismiss a lawsuit filed by three individuals claiming rights to a 4.77-acre plot on East Coast Road, which Sridevi purchased in 1988. The petition seeks to overturn the additional district court’s decision, which allowed the case to proceed despite the Kapoor family’s arguments. The petitioners assert that Sridevi acquired the land from Sambandam Mudaliyar in 1988 and has held possession of it since then. However, in 2025, a woman named Chandrababu, along with her children Sivakami and Natarajan, filed a suit against the Kapoor family. Chandrababu claimed to be the wife of Chandrasekharan, the son of Sambandam Mudaliyar, and therefore entitled to a share of the property. The court, however, did not dismiss the suit, despite Chandrababu’s status as the second wife of Chandrasekharan. Chandrasekharan was already married to another woman before Chandrababu, and their marriage is considered invalid under Indian law. The additional district court, presided over by Justice TV Thamilselvi, adjourned the case to March 26, 2026, pending further proceedings. The Kapoor family’s petition argues that the court’s refusal to dismiss the case undermines their legal claim to the property, which they assert was legally transferred to Sridevi. The dispute highlights the complexities of property rights in cases involving multiple claims and contested marital relationships. The Madras High Court’s ruling will determine whether the Kapoor family’s ownership of the land can be upheld against the claims of Chandrababu and her family.#madras_high_court #kushi_kapoor #boney_kapoor #jahnvi_kapoor #chandrababu
Boney Kapoor And Daughters Seek Madras High Court To Reject Sridevi Property Suit Film producer Boney Kapoor and his daughters, Janhvi and Kushi Kapoor, have filed a petition with the Madras High Court challenging an order from the Additional District Judge in Chengalpattu, which refused to dismiss a legal claim over the property of late actress Sridevi. The case centers on a 4.7-acre plot near the East Coast Road, which is the subject of a dispute between Kapoor’s family and MC Sivakami, her sister MC Natarajan, and their mother Chandrabhanu. The plaintiffs argue that the property, acquired by Sridevi and her sister through sale deeds in 1988, was obtained fraudulently and that they have a legal claim to it as descendants of Sridevi’s paternal grandfather. The petition, heard by Justice TV Thamilselvi on March 16, 2026, was scheduled for final resolution on March 26. The court extended an interim stay on the trial, pending further proceedings. Kapoor’s legal team argued that the plaintiffs’ claim lacked legal merit, citing several grounds. They contended that Chandrabhanu’s marriage to Sridevi’s brother was invalid due to bigamy, as it was conducted while her first marriage was still in effect. This, they claimed, rendered the marriage void ab initio, undermining the plaintiffs’ right to the property. Kapoor also asserted that the plaintiffs’ delay in filing the suit—37 years after the sale deeds were executed—barred the case under the Limitation Act. He further questioned the validity of the plaintiffs’ allegations, noting that the patta (land record) issued by the Tahsildar was obtained through proper verification of title documents. The plaintiffs, however, countered that Kapoor’s arguments were speculative and required resolution during the trial.#janhvi_kapoor #boney_kapoor #kushi_kapoor #mc_sivakami #mc_natarajan
