The ongoing family feud between the Hiremath siblings and their uncle Baba Kalyani took an unexpected twist on Monday, July 22. Sameer Hiremath and Pallavi Swadi expressed their desire to resolve the dispute through mediation, expressing their distress over the negative impact of the court battle on the family’s reputation.
Their legal representative, Advocate Shailendra Aglawe, proposed the idea of mediation to Joint Civil Judge Senior Division SS Shinde. However, Baba’s lawyer, Amit Agashe, strongly opposed the suggestion. Despite the resistance, the court agreed to proceed with mediation.
The siblings had initially filed a lawsuit in Pune civil court earlier this year seeking the division of the Kalyani family HUF. In response, Baba denied the existence of any family HUF and claimed that the siblings were not entitled to any family assets due to their lineage. He also made disparaging remarks about their great-grandfather’s financial status.
In their counter-reply filed in court, Sameer and Pallavi accused Baba of perjury and refuted his claims. They cited their grandfather’s book, which detailed the family’s wealth and assets left by their great-grandfather. The siblings also highlighted several partition deeds that proved the existence of the family HUF.
The Hiremath siblings were particularly offended by Baba’s assertion that they did not belong to the family. They emphasized their rights as coparceners in the family wealth and criticized Baba’s disregard for the law.
They also disputed Baba’s claim that his wealth was self-made, arguing that it was derived from the family’s joint assets. The siblings requested that Baba refrain from dealing with any family properties until the legal dispute is resolved.
Advocate Aglawe addressed the media, expressing concern over Baba’s statements and the impact on the family’s reputation. He explained that they proposed mediation to avoid further conflict in court.
In response, a spokesperson for the Kalyani Group dismissed the siblings’ lawsuit as frivolous and accused them of trying to defame family members. The proposal for mediation was seen as an indication that the siblings lacked a valid legal basis for their claims.
The court’s decision to proceed with mediation signals a potential resolution to the family dispute, which has garnered attention for its personal and financial implications.
