| A little over a year after the death of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, his sons Mr Uddhav and Mr Jaidev are locked in a legal row over property worth crores left behind by the party patriarch.
Mr Uddhav, who was anointed party's Executive President by his father, has moved the Bombay High Court to probate the will of his father, who died on November 17, 2012.
The probate petition of Mr Uddhav, filed in January 2013 by solicitor firm Kanga and Company, has been converted into a testamentary suit as it was opposed by his brother Mr Jaidev, who has not got any share in the property, said a lawyer involved in the case.
The matter is expected to come up for hearing on January 27 before Justice Roshan Dalvi. The court might ask the parties to accept or deny documents.
A probate petition is filed to get the will of a deceased person certified by a court.
The estate left behind by Mr Thackeray includes property and bank deposits worth Rs. 14.85 crores, according to the will signed by the Sena patriarch. A copy of the will has been attached to the probate petition filed by Mr Uddhav.
MrJaidev, the estranged son of Mr Thackeray, has contested the will in an affidavit, saying the property was valued much more than the declared worth. According to him, the Bandra bungalow 'Matoshri' is itself valued at Rs. 40 crore.
Mr Jaidev has contended that although he had separated from his father some years ago, he had cordial relations with him and that the senior Mr Thackeray could not have signed such a will in which he has not been given any share in the family property.
Mr Jaidev is currently staying separately with his third wife. His divorced wife Ms Smita also stays separately.
Mr Jaidev's lawyer Seema Sarnaik refused comment on the development.
According to the will, Mr Thackeray has given the first floor of his bungalow to his grandson Aishvarya, son of Mr Jaidev and his divorced wife Ms Smita.
