Famous film producer Boney Kapoor has gone to the Madras High Court, claiming that three people are wrongly asserting ownership of a property his late wife, veteran actress Sridevi, bought on East Coast Road in Chennai back in 1988.
Justice N. Anand Venkatesh instructed the Tambaram Taluk Tahsildar on Monday (August 25, 2025) to decide within four weeks about a film producer’s plea to revoke a ‘fraudulent’ legal heirship certificate given to three individuals.
Produce Boney Kapoor’s appeal to the Madras High Court
In his appeal, Kapoor requested that the Chengalpattu District Collector and the Tambaram Tahsildar take action on what he submitted back in April. He claimed that Sridevi bought the land in 1998 from M.C. Sambanda Mudaliar in Mylapore, and her family has been fully using it as a farmhouse ever since.
Mudaliar, the original title holder, had three sons and two daughters who split their inheritance in 1960. Sridevi purchased and registered the property according to this deed.
Boney Kapoor Accuses Mudaliar’s Family Of Fake Heirship Certificate
Recently, three individuals—claiming to be the second wife and two kids of one of Mudaliar’s sons—came forward with a 2005 heirship certificate to assert their claim. Kapoor challenged whether the Tambaram Tahsildar had the right to issue that certificate, pointing out that Mudaliar’s family actually lived in Mylapore, not Tambaram.
Kapoor pushed back against the alleged second wife’s claim of marrying in 1975, saying that the marriage couldn’t be legit since the person’s first wife was alive until 1999. Kapoor pointed out that the trio doesn’t meet the criteria for Class I or Class II heirs under the Hindu Succession Act. He also accused them of harassing him by throwing multiple civil suits and petitions at revenue authorities to back up a false property claim.
As Boney Kapoor approaches the Madras High Court regarding late Sridevi’s Land issue, the news is all over the media, and everyone awaits the verdict or the future proceedings of this case.
