Madras High Court Rejects “Vexatious” Property Suit Against Boney Kapoor & Daughters

The Madras High Court dismissed a civil suit filed against filmmaker Boney Kapoor and his daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor over a property purchased by late actor Sridevi on Chennai’s East Coast Road.

Justice T.V. Thamilselvi termed the claim “vexatious” and held that the cause of action raised by the plaintiffs was unsustainable in law. The dispute related to nearly 4.77 acres of land allegedly purchased by Sridevi in 1988.

The Kapoor family had approached the High Court after a lower court refused to reject the plaint.

The High Court observed that the suit appeared to be an abuse of legal process aimed at grabbing the property.
