On Thursday, the Supreme Court of India stayed the appointment of two independent directors to Raghuvanshi Investment Private Limited (RIPL), granting interim relief to Rani Kapur amid a family dispute over business control and inheritance. The court, led by Justice JB Pardiwala, noted that the matter involving the RK Trust and Sona Comstar-related companies was already under mediation. Rani Kapur, mother of the late businessman Sunjay Kapur, expressed concerns that Priya Kapur was attempting to gain control over the company's finances before mediation concluded. Senior Advocate Navin Pahwa, representing Rani Kapur, argued that a board meeting notice for May 8 aimed to alter the company's control structure. In response, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Priya Kapur, defended the appointments as necessary to comply with a Reserve Bank of India directive. The court suggested that it would ask the RBI to postpone compliance during mediation. Justice Pardiwala urged both parties to settle amicably, emphasizing that prolonged litigation is unbeneficial for all involved.
