NEW DELHI: Invoking spirituality in the multi-billion-dollar property dispute over late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s estate, Supreme Court on Thursday reminded his mother and his wife of the transience of life and said it was always better to resolve issues amicably than fight endlessly.The court-directed mediation process hit an obstacle before it started, with Kapur’s mother, Rani Kapur, alleging that two new independent directors were being appointed in the company to reduce her say and Priya Kapur contending that it was being done at RBI’s directive. A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan appealed to them to be accommodative and not go into mediation with prejudiced minds. SC also directed that no director be appointed in the meantime.The bench asked Priya to treat her mother-in-law with a little care, pointing out that she was 80 years old and grief-stricken. It urged both parties not to do anything that would derail mediation proceedings. “Put an end to the dispute amicably, or it will be a very long-drawn battle,” the bench said.Asking both parties to compromise a bit, SC said, “We all came into this world with empty hands, and we have to leave the world with empty hands. All we carry is our souls. We come with our soul and leave with the soul.”As the parties had expressed their willingness to participate in mediation, SC had appointed former CJI D Y Chandrachud as mediator on May 7 and asked them to refrain from making public statements.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosDelhi HC Judge Initiates Contempt Proceedings Against Kejriwal; Refers Case To New Bench2 Days WFH To ‘No Vehicle Day’: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Unveils Fuel-Saving Steps After PM Modi’s CallCong Picks VD Satheesan As Kerala CM; Iran FM Lands In India For Brics Meet With ‘Minab168’ MsgSupreme Court Questions CEC Appointment Process, Raises ‘Independence’ ConcernsMan Trying To Hold Tin Shed Gets Swept Into Air During Violent Storm In Bareilly, Survives Fall’Unacceptable’: India Slams Attack On Indian-Flagged Ship Near OmanEC Announces Phase 3 Of SIR Across 16 States, 3 UTs; J&K, Ladakh, Himachal Left OutEx-Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee In Lawyer’s Gown Argues Post-poll Violence Case In High CourtKC Venugopal Backs VD Satheesan as Kerala CM, Says Congress Fully United Behind HimCongress Picks VD Satheesan as Kerala CM After 10 Days of Talks and Leadership Battle123PhotostoriesMorning affirmation at 5 AM: The mindset you need before sunriseFriday OTT releases this week (May 11-17): ‘Kartavya’, ‘Berlin’ and ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ lead the lineupTara Sutaria looks straight out of a 1950s Hollywood dream at Cannes in this vintage Vivienne Westwood coutureHappy Birthday Vicky Kaushal: With Katrina Kaif, Sunny Kaushal and family, inside the actor’s most heartwarming momentsMilk Price Hike: Popular packaged milk prices rise across India; healthy milk alternatives to add to daily dietTop 10 fascinating facts about rhinos that make them unlike any other wild animal5 animals with giant tusks and horns that make them look prehistoricHow these 5 Indian ice creams became among the 100 Most Iconic Ice Creams of the WorldRice water vs coconut water for hair growth: Which works better in summer?5 reasons why someone dislikes you – And why is it not your problem123Hot PicksCBSE class 12 resultUS Iran warPrateek YadavHaryana election resultForeign outflowNEET exam cancelledTamil Nadu assemblyTop TrendingWB Class 12 Result 2026WB Board 12th ResultIPL Points TablePM Internship SchemeCalcutta High CourtMI vs PBKS IPL MatchIPL Orange Cap 2026Haryana Board ResultAir India FlightsPrateek Yadav
