Legal Dispute Over Late Sridevi's Chennai Property Reignites in Madras High Court

Mumbai. The legal dispute surrounding the property of the late Bollywood actress Sridevi has once again come into the spotlight. Film producer Boney Kapoor and his daughters, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, have approached the Madras High Court regarding the ownership of a house in Chennai.

This dispute arose after an unknown individual claimed ownership of a valuable property in Sridevi's name located on the East Coast Road in Chennai. According to a Live Law report, that person filed a complaint in the Chengalpattu District Court, asserting their right over the property.

Initially, the Kapoor family petitioned the court seeking the dismissal of the individual's complaint at the preliminary stage. However, after the Additional District Judge rejected the Kapoor family's request, Boney Kapoor and his daughters challenged the lower court's decision in the Madras High Court.

The Kapoor family argues that all legal documents and rights related to the property are in their favor, and the opponent's claim is completely baseless. They have demanded that the High Court dismiss the case, stating it cannot stand legally. On the other hand, the complainant insists that they have a legal right to a portion of the property and that a thorough investigation should be conducted.

Since Sridevi's passing, various reports have surfaced regarding her legacy and assets from time to time. This latest dispute has put the Kapoor family under legal pressure. How the Madras High Court rules on this matter and whether the Kapoor family finds relief will only become clear after the next hearing.
