Supreme Court examines Kapoor family East Coast Road property dispute
The Supreme Court is now looking into a property fight involving late actor Sridevi's family.
A woman and her brother are challenging a previous court decision that dismissed her suit over a 2.7-acre plot on Chennai's East Coast Road sold to Sridevi's family in 1988.
They're challenging the dismissal of the suit over the property.
Supreme Court orders stay, suggests mediation
The Kapoors's lawyer says the case comes way too late, since decades have passed since the sale.
The Supreme Court wants more clarity about whether the petitioners are children of MC Chandrasekaran and whether he had a one-fifth share in the property, so there will be further checks on who really owns what.
To keep things fair, the judges have ordered no changes to the property for now and suggested mediation with a retired High Court judge.
Everyone will be back in court December 18 to see if they can settle this without more drama.
