The Madras High Court has finally put an end to a stressful legal drama for Boney Kapoor and his daughters, Janhvi and Khushi. On May 7, 2026, the court dismissed a lawsuit challenging their ownership of a prime 2.7-acre plot in Chennai’s Sholinganallur. The land, bought by the late Sridevi back in 1988, had become the target of a group claiming to be the “rightful heirs” of the original seller.
Justice T.V. Thamilselvi didn’t hold back, calling the lawsuit “vexatious” and a blatant “abuse of the legal process.” The court noted that the plaintiffs had “suppressed facts” and popped up nearly 40 years too late to challenge a settled deal. Essentially, the judge ruled that you can’t just wake up four decades later and claim fraud on a property where a massive bungalow has been standing in plain sight for years.
This verdict is a massive relief for the Kapoor family, effectively shielding them from what the court described as a meritless attempt to grab high-value real estate. With the title now cleared of all “stale” claims, the family officially retains the ECR property. It’s a win for common sense, proving that celebrity status doesn’t make your property “open season” for fraudulent inheritance claims.
You can’t rewrite history 40 years later just because the land value went up. The court has made it clear: property titles aren’t a playground for “vexatious” litigants. Boney and the girls can finally close this chapter and keep the Sholinganallur gates locked tight.
