The dispute concerned 2.70 acres of land at Sholinganallur in Chennai.
The plaintiffs, MC Sivakami, MC Natarajan and Chandrabhanu, claimed to be legal heirs of late MC Chandrasekaran and sought the partition of the property.
They also sought declarations that the sale deeds executed in favour of Sridevi, her mother and sister were null and void.
The plaintiffs alleged that the property originally belonged to MC Sambanda Mudaliar, who had purchased large extents of land at Sholinganallur in 1943.
They claimed that the 2.70 acres had been retained by him and later remained available for partition among his heirs.
They further alleged that sale deeds had been executed in favour of Sridevi and her family members, though the sellers had no title to the land.
According to them, they came to know about the alleged fraud only in 2023, when a patta was issued in favour of Boney Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor.
Kapoor and his daughters filed an application under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure seeking the rejection of the plaint filed by Sivakami, Natarajan and Chandrabhanu.
The Kapoors argued that the plaintiffs were not Class I legal heirs of MC Chandrasekaran and that their claim was barred by limitation.
