‘80 is No Age to Fight in Court’: Supreme Court Urges Mediation in Kapur Family Dispute

The Supreme Court recently encouraged mediation in the ongoing inheritance dispute between Rani Kapur and Priya Kapur over the estate and trust linked to late industrialist Sunjay Kapur.

A Bench led by Justice J.B. Pardiwala observed that prolonged litigation may not be beneficial, especially considering Rani Kapur’s age, remarking that “80 is not the age to fight.”

The Court noted that the matter could turn into long-drawn litigation and advised the parties to attempt a peaceful settlement through mediation.

Rani Kapur has challenged the functioning of the family trust, alleging that she was unfairly deprived of control over family assets and estate-related interests.
