The Supreme Court of India has urged the parties involved in the estate dispute of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur to exercise restraint and participate sincerely in mediation. Rani Kapur, Sunjay's mother, has raised concerns that her assets were transferred without her consent while she was unwell. The court declined to stay a scheduled board meeting of Raghuvanshi Investment Private Limited (RIPL), which manages significant assets in question, but directed that critical agenda items, including the appointment of independent directors, should not be addressed until mediation progresses. The Bench highlighted the need for a genuine willingness to settle, particularly given Rani Kapur's age of 80. The dispute revolves around the RK Family Trust, which Rani claims was used fraudulently to exclude her from her rightful share of the estate. The court has indicated that mediation is the most constructive path forward in resolving this family matter, which has been complicated by parallel proceedings in the Delhi High Court and allegations of exploitation during Rani's illness.
