SC extends mediation phase in long-running Kalyani family feud till October end

SC extends mediation phase in long-running Kalyani family feud till October end. Dispute involves siblings Baba, Sugandha Hiremath and Gaurishankar Kalysani and their respective families. They have been locked in litigation for almost two decades over claims concerning ancestral family wealth estimated at more than Rs 1 lakh crore. The latest extension indicates that the settlement process remains actively underway. A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, and comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, has scheduled the matter for further hearing on October 26.

Why it matters. It highlights the judiciary's push for alternative dispute resolution in long-standing high-net-worth family property litigations.
