At the end of the day, all parties are in pain, they are grieving and all of you suffered. Lead a good life rather than fight,\u201d Justice Pushkarna said. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Sunjay, 53, died in London in June last year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The judge asked the senior counsel appearing for Sunjay\u2019s mother, his wife and his sister to sit down together to solve their issues in a manner in which everyone\u2019s interests were safeguarded. <!-- -->\u201cAll of you should try to respect relations\u2026 The way forward is resolution in a peaceful manner. Efforts need to be from both sides,\u201d Justice Pushkarna observed orally.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The HC was dealing with a lawsuit by Sunjay\u2019s mother Rani Kapur for a purported family trust to be declared \u201cnull and void\u201d. In her lawsuit against daughter-in-law Priya and others, 80-year-old Rani alleged that the trust, constituted in Oct 2017, was a product of \u201cforged, fabricated and fraudulent\u201d documents, and that she was wrongly divested of all her rights, assets and legacy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/> The high court also highlighted the need for Priya to realise it was Rani\u2019s husband (Surinder Kapur) who \u201cfounded everything\u201d, and the fruits of his labour should be shared by all.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The HC issued notice to Priya and others on a plea by Rani to stay disbursal of dividends from a group company to her daughter-in-law and to preserve the estate. It also sought her stand on Priya\u2019s claim that the suit be rejected.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Rani\u2019s suit says she is the sole beneficiary of the entire estate belonging to her late husband, Surinder, who was the promoter of various businesses, including Sona Group of Companies, and a \u201csystematic fraud\u201d was committed on her when the assets were transferred to the \u201cRK Family Trust\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>A separate plea by the two children of actor Karisma Kapoor, Sunjay\u2019s former wife, challenging the authenticity of the purported will of their late father is also pending in the HC.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/washing-dirty-linen-in-court-hc-tells-kapurs-to-go-for-mediation\/articleshow\/128179718.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Taking a dim view of what it described as \u201cwashing dirty linen in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1619,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[724,1393,4858,723,719,720,721,4857,4856,722,4859],"class_list":["post-1618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-breaking-news","tag-delhi-high-court","tag-family-mediation","tag-google-news","tag-india","tag-india-news","tag-india-news-today","tag-rani-kapur","tag-sunjay-kapur","tag-today-news","tag-trust-dispute"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
