Singhania property row: No interim relief for grandkids

The Bombay High Court on Friday refused interim relief to the grandchildren of Vijaypat Singhania, chairman emeritus of Raymond Group, who have challenged an agreement whereby their right to the family property was given up by their father. Singapore-based Raivathari, Tarini, Rasaalika and Ananya had urged the High Court to direct all the concerned parties not to deal with the properties in question till their suit was decided. However, Justice Gautam Patel dismissed the application. The High Court would decide their main suit in due course. The agreement pertains to a 1998 settlement between Vijaypat Singhania and his estranged son, Madhupati Singhania, the plaintiffs' father.

Madhupati and his wife left the family home in Mumbai 16 years ago and settled down in Singapore. According to the plaintiffs, while parting ways, Madhupati signed an agreement giving up his as well as his minor children's rights to the family property.
