'Why are you fighting? You're 80': SC issues notice in Sanjay Kapur estate dispute, urges meditation

You're 80': SC issues notice in Sanjay Kapur estate dispute, urges meditation NEW DELHI: In a fresh development in the estate dispute involving late businessman Sanjay Kapur, the Supreme Court on Monday issued notice on a plea filed by Rani Kapur, seeking responses from Priya Sachdev Kapur and 22 others. A Bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Vijay Bishnoi also indicated that mediation could be explored to resolve the matter, observing that prolonged litigation in family disputes may not be beneficial. Otherwise, this is a waste," the court said, as cited by ANI. The petition before the Supreme Court seeks directions to restrain the respondents from interfering with the estate, its assets and related affairs. "It will be in the interest of all the parties concerned if they go for a mediation and try to resolve the disputes peacefully and equitably... We shall, if necessary, hear the matter on merits; however, first, we should make an attempt to convince the parties to go for mediation," the bench said, emphasising the need for an amicable solution. Rani Kapur has also challenged orders passed by the Delhi High Court, arguing that the estate has not yet been secured and raising concerns over a possible dissipation of assets. Senior Advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for her, submitted that courts typically grant protective orders at an early stage in disputes involving large estates.

Supreme Court clears newly qualified AORs to vote in SCAORA polls

Supreme Court clears newly qualified AORs to vote in SCAORA polls The Supreme Court of India has allowed recently qualified Advocates-on-Record (AORs) to take part as voters in the upcoming elections of the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association, offering interim relief in a dispute over their exclusion. The direction came during the hearing of a petition challenging the preparation of the electoral roll, which had left out several newly registered AORs. The Court ruled that those who had completed their registration formalities by mid-April would be permitted to cast their votes, though they would not be eligible to contest in the present election cycle. The issue stemmed from administrative delays that prevented timely inclusion of these members despite their successful qualification. Petitioners argued that denying them voting rights created an unfair distinction between similarly placed professionals who had already met all substantive criteria. Recognising the concern, the Court observed that procedural delays should not deprive eligible members of their right to participate in the functioning of their professional body. It underscored the need for fairness and inclusivity in the electoral process. The order is expected to enable a significant number of newly inducted AORs to vote, while also prompting a review of election timelines and procedures to ensure broader representation within the association.
