High Court Bans The Sale Or Purchase Of Kashi Naresh Disputed Property

The dispute between Kashi Naresh Vibhuti Narayan Singh’s three daughters and son over the property of Kashiraj family has reached Allahabad High Court. On the appeal of the eldest daughter Vishnupriya, the court has banned the sale and purchase of the disputed property and ordered the opponent Prince Anant Narayan Singh and other daughters to file a counter affidavit within ten days.

This order has been given by the court of Justice Vipin Chandra Dixit on the appeal of Princess Vishnupriya. In the court of Civil Judge of Varanasi, Vishnupriya had demanded an interim stay on her brother Anant from selling the ancestral property, which was rejected. Vishnupriya has knocked the door of the High Court against this. Vishnupriya has filed an appeal in the High Court seeking interim relief in the pending civil case regarding the share in the property of the royal family and has demanded the cancellation of the order of the civil judge.

Petitioner’s lawyer Ritwik Upadhyay argues that all four children of Kashi Naresh have equal share in the royal family’s property. Whereas, son Anant Narayan Singh is trying to sell the property alone. It is necessary to stop him from selling the property till the pending case regarding division is resolved. Anant Narayan Singh’s lawyer, who appeared in the court, asked for time to file a counter affidavit. On this, the court has given him ten days’ time. Whereas, petitioner Vishnupriya will be able to file her reply in three days. The next hearing will be on September 13.

Five years after the death of Maharaja Vibhuti Narayan Singh, there is a dispute over the royal family’s property between his son Anant Narayan Singh, daughters Vishnupriya, Krishnapriya and Haripriya. The property dispute that started in 2005 increased the distance between the siblings to such an extent that they have even filed cases against each other accusing each other of theft, selling of land and misuse of the royal insignia.

Whereas, Anant Narayan Singh’s statement kept coming in the media that before the death of his father Dr. Vibhuti Narayan Singh on 25 December 2000, he had given a substantial share of the royal property to the three sisters after their marriage.

The royal family is now at the doorstep of the High Court over the property dispute. The hearing on Anant Narayan Singh’s civil revision petition and Vishnupriya’s appeal is ongoing. The case will be heard on September 13.
