The Madras High Court dismissed a civil suit contesting a land parcel in Chennai previously owned by actress Sridevi, who died [1].
The ruling secures the property for producer Boney Kapoor and his daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, ending a legal challenge to the estate's ownership.
The disputed property consists of a 2.70-acre [1] land parcel located in the Sholinganallur area on East Coast Road in Tamil Nadu [2]. Records indicate the land was purchased in the name of Sridevi in 1988 [1].
The legal battle began when plaintiffs, who identified themselves as the legal heirs of MC Chandrasekaran, who died, filed a suit seeking partition rights over the property [2]. These claimants asserted they were entitled to a portion of the land, leading to a dispute that lasted approximately one year [3].
After reviewing the case, the court said the suit was without merit and dismissed the claims [1]. This decision affirms the legal standing of Boney Kapoor and his daughters as the rightful holders of the asset.
The resolution concludes a period of litigation regarding the high-value real estate in one of Chennai's prominent coastal regions [2].
“The Madras High Court dismissed a civil suit contesting a land parcel in Chennai.”
This ruling prevents the fragmentation of Sridevi's estate by rejecting third-party claims of inheritance. By dismissing the suit from the heirs of MC Chandrasekaran, the court has reinforced the validity of the 1988 property title, ensuring the asset remains within the immediate family's control.
