Supreme Court extends Kapur family trust mediation, hopes amicable settlement

The Supreme Court extended mediation in the Kapur family trust dispute to November 2, citing progress and expressing hope the family conflict ends amicably. Six sessions have been held, with mediator and former chief justice DY Chandrachud meeting every family member. Parties discussed claims and assets, aided by a chartered accountant and tax expert. The court urged cooperation with an open mind. The case began with Rani Kapur alleging her late son and Priya Sachdev Kapur induced her to transfer assets after her 2017 stroke. The court referred the dispute to mediation in May after parties agreed.
