Court was hearing appeal of Lalit Modi against a high court judgment which held that anti-arbitration injunction lawsuit by Bina Modi is maintainable.
The Supreme Court today suggested mediation to Lalit Modi and his mother Bina Modi, wife of late industrialist K K Modi, to resolve the long pending property dispute in the family and asked both the parties to give names of mediators of their choice.
The court was hearing the appeal of Lalit Modi against the judgment of a division bench of the Delhi High Court which had held that the anti-arbitration injunction lawsuit filed by Bina Modi against her son Lalit Modi is maintainable.
The lawsuit was earlier filed by Bina Modi seeking to restrain the arbitration proceedings initiated by Lalit Modi in Singapore over the dispute.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana, after hearing brief arguments from a battery of senior lawyers appearing on both sides, said that ultimately, it was a family dispute over property and money and suggested mediation or arbitration in India to resolve the case.
