The
Supreme Court of India on Monday urged an amicable resolution in the ongoing
dispute between Rani Kapur, 80-year-old mother of late businessman Sunjay Kapur, and Sunjay Kapur’s widow Priya Kapur over the Sona Group family
trust, indicating that a drawn-out legal battle, particularly involving an
elderly litigant, may not be constructive.
A
Bench comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and Vijay Bishnoi addressed counsel,
remarking, “Why are you all fighting? This is not the age for your client to
fight...go for mediation once and for all, from A to Z. Otherwise, this is a
waste.”
The
Bench further observed that extending such disputes serves little purpose,
especially at an advanced stage of life, adding, “You are 80. This is not the
age for your client to fight.”
