According to Kapoor’s petition, Sridevi had legally purchased the property in 1988 from M.C. Sambandha Mudaliar, whose family had settled ownership terms in 1960. However, decades later, three claimants, two men and a woman, have emerged asserting rights over the land. The woman claims to be Mudaliar’s second wife, while the two men allege they are his sons.

Kapoor contests these claims, stating that Mudaliar’s first wife lived until 1999, making any purported second marriage in 1975 invalid. On this basis, he argues, the heirs’ succession certificate issued by local revenue authorities is legally unsustainable.

The court has directed the Tambaram Tahsildar to respond within four weeks, placing the spotlight once again on Sridevi’s family estate. The farmhouse, once used by the actress as a retreat, is currently listed on Airbnb as a rental property.
