Udaipur : The ongoing property dispute within the former Udaipur royal family was heard on Tuesday in the Delhi High Court. The case involves Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar and his sister Padmaja Kumari Parmar.
Padmaja Kumari Parmar had sought ‘Letters of Administration’ over the properties of their late father Arvind Singh Mewar, claiming he had passed away without leaving a will. However, the court rejected her plea.
Justice Subramonium Prasad observed that as long as the matter related to the will, presented by her brother, is pending before the court, no legal action can proceed on the basis that the deceased died intestate. She has, however, been allowed to present arguments regarding suspicious circumstances in response to her brother’s claims. The next hearing is scheduled for May 4.
Following the verdict, people celebrated outside the City Palace at Jagdish Chowk in Udaipur with fireworks.
Reacting to the decision, Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar said that truth has prevailed and expressed relief after a long period of hardship for the family.
He later visited Jagdish Temple with his family to offer prayers, where he was welcomed by locals and traders. After the visit, he said the verdict brought satisfaction and that even his late father would have found peace with the truth coming to light.
