Boney Kapoor transferred to Madras High Court on Sridevi’s Chennai property dispute

Famous filmmaker Boney Kapoor has approached the Madras High Court, alleging that three persons in 1988 have his wife and veteran actor A. at the East Coast Road (ECR) in Chennai. Sridevi (since after dead) is correctly claiming a real estate purchased.

Justice n. Anand Venkatesh on Monday (August 25, 2025) directed the Taramaram Taluk Tehsildar to take a decision on a representation made by the filmmaker within four weeks, which was to cancel the “fake” legal successor certificate, which was given in favor of the three Indviduals.

Orders were passed to cancel a legal successor certificate, to settle a representation on 22 April, 2025, to dispose of a petition filed by the manufacturer demanding a direction to the Chengalpattu Collector and Taramram Taluk Tehsildar.

Explaining the background of the case, Mr. Kapoor told the court that his wife had bought property on April 19, 1988, and since then, he and his family members were now in full occupation and joy of property being used as a farm house.

The petitioner also told the court that the land was originally a person named MC Sambanda Muraliar, who had three sons and two daughters. Family members entered a mutual system on 14 February 1960 in connection with the division of property.

It was based on the agreement that Sridevi had bought the property and duly registered the sales deed. However, suddenly, three persons started saying that they too shared an undivided on the property by claiming one of one of the three sons of Mr. Mudaliar.

Saying that the claimants also obtained a legal successor certificate from Taramram Tehsildar in 2005, the petitioner questioned the jurisdiction of the revenue officer, when the original land owner lived in Milepur, along with the family of the owner, and did not live in Taramaram.

Furthermore, indicating that the second wife claimed to marry on February 5, 1975, the petitioner said, it cannot be considered a legal marriage as the first wife died only on June 24, 1999. Therefore, three persons cannot be classified as class-I or class-second legal heir under the Hindu Succession Act.

Complaining that the trio was causing a lot of trouble by contacting the revenue officials for claiming a number of civil proceedings and claiming the “fraud” legal heir to claim property, Mr. Kapoor had urged the officials to cancel the certificate as soon as possible.
