The actress has filed a case in the Pune Civil Court, claiming rights to the Manali Apartments flat that belonged to her grandmother
Ameesha Patel, who had once slapped a legal notice on her father Amit Patel alleging mismanagement of her accounts has now dragged her uncles to court over a disputed property.
Just back from her European holiday, she has filed a case in the Pune Civil Court, claiming rights to a flat at Manali Apartments on Prabhat Road in Pune. In an earlier interview with Mirror, Ameesha had referred to her late grandmother Sushila Patel (wife of famous lawyer-politician, Barrister Rajni Patel) as her benefactor while speaking about the same flat.
On December 18, 2010, this newspaper had reported that Ameesha's uncle Nalin Rajni Patel had submitted an application to the Deccan Gymkhana police on November 25. In his application, he alleged his niece had 'sneaked into' the flat with a duplicate key and stolen some domestic articles jointly owned by his brother Sunil Rajni Patel and him.
He said the actress chose to visit the flat when they were away in Nasik. At the time, Nalin had claimed the flat was in the name of their late mother Sushila Patel and she had executed a bonafide registered gift deed in Sunil and his name in 2007.
In Ameesha's petition (Case No. 970/2011) before Judge Shri Tankhiwale, Ameesha has said her grandmother has bequeathed the property to her by will. Meanwhile, Nalin and Sunil have replied to Ameesha's petition, claiming their mother's signature on the will has been forged.
Bhairav Kulkarni, one of the advocates defending Nalin and Sunil confirmed the news and said, "Yes, we are respondents to a case filed by Bollywood actor Ameesha Patel, where she has claimed rights to the flat on Prabhat Road in Pune that comes under the Deccan Gymkhana police station. We have replied to her petition saying that the will she claims to have been signed by Shrimati Sushila Patel is fake and the signature there is forged."
Kulkarni informed Mirror that the matter has been postponed for framing of issues before the judge to December 13. "Ameesha's uncles are defendants in the case and they have produced certified evidence in court to prove their point. We are ready to fight the case also because the property belongs to a prominent icon of Mumbai," Kulkarni said.
When contacted, Ameesha confirmed filing the case but didn't elaborate on the issue. "I am sorry I cannot talk as it is sub-judice," she texted us back.
