Film producer Boney Kapoor and his actor-daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor have approached the Madras High Court against the refusal of an additional district court in Chengalpattu in rejecting a civil suit filed by certain individuals against 4.7 acres of land purchased by the producer’s late wife and veteran actress A. Sridevi on East Coast Road (ECR) in Chennai in 1988.
Justice T.V. Thamilselvi on Monday (March 16, 2026) decided to take up the Kapoor family’s joint civil revision petition for hearing on March 26, 2026, and stayed till then all further proceedings before the district court. A woman named Chandrabanu and her two children, M.C. Sivakami and M.C. Natarajan, had filed the suit claiming they were entitled to a share in the sprawling property.

However, the Kapoor family contended Ms. Chandrabanu had married M.C. Chandrasekaran, the original owner of the property, during the subsistence of his first marriage and hence, such marriage must be considered void ab initio in view of the law that prohibits bigamy. The petitioner family also accused the three plaintiffs of not having disclosed this fact in a genealogy tree presented in their plaint.
