Overview

• Justice N. Anand Venkatesh on August 25 directed the Tambaram Taluk Tahsildar to decide within four weeks on Kapoor’s April 22 representation.
• Kapoor seeks cancellation of a 2005 legal heirship certificate used by three people claiming status as a second wife and two sons of a prior owner’s son.
• The High Court did not annul the certificate, leaving the next step to the revenue authority with potential for subsequent appeals.
• Kapoor challenges the Tahsildar’s jurisdiction, asserting the original landowner’s family lived in Mylapore rather than Tambaram.
• He argues the alleged 1975 second marriage was invalid because the first wife died in 1999, and says Sridevi bought the land on April 19, 1988, which the family has used as a farmhouse.
