Sugandha Hiremath
BY YOGESH SADHWANI @yogeshsadhwani Yet another battle is raging in the Kalyani family. Padma Shri Dr Neelkanth Kalyani’s daughter Sugandha Hiremath has fi led a case against her siblings and parents seeking her share in the family wealth. In her suit fi led in Pune Civil Court, Senior Division, Hiremath has accused her younger brother Gaurishankar Kalyani and his wife Rohini of ill treating her parents and usurping family wealth. Filed in November 2012, the suit – fi led against Dr Neelkanth Kalyani, his wife Sulochana, son Babasaheb (Baba Kalyani), Gaurishankar, Rohini (Gaurishankar’s wife) and Kalyani Consultants Pvt Ltd - has come up for hearing on several occasions in the past three years and is again due for hearing on November 27. At the heart of the raging legal battle is a prime plot in upscale Kalyani Nagar, Pune, which is owned by the Neelkanth Annappa Kalyani Hindu Undivided Family (NAK HUF). While her brothers Gaurishankar and Baba Kalyani – chairman of Bharat Forge and 41st on the Forbes list of wealthiest persons in India – have received their share of the plot, Hiremath was left empty-handed. The plot in question is spread over 6,924.74 sq metres (1.71 acres) and was fi rst divided within the members of Kalyani family in 1976. In her suit, Hiremath has explained that during partial partition carried out in January 1976, Dr Neelkanth received 952.41 sq metres, Baba Kalyani got 816.08 sq metres, and Gaurishankar Kalyani received 816.82 sq metres. The remaining portion of the plot – 4,339.43 sq metres – was left intact with NAK HUF.

SUIT FILED AFTER BROTHER TRIED USURPING PROPERTIES Hiremath filed the suit after her younger brother Gaurishnkar sought transfer of land parcels that were earlier owned by their father and the HUF. In her suit, Hiremath has stated that in May 2011 her brother sought transfer of two land parcels to his name - 952.41 sq metres earlier in the name of their father Dr Neelkanth, and 1,746.6 sq metres that belonged to the NAK HUF. Within days of Gaurishankar seeking the transfer from the City Survey Office, Hiremath and Baba Kalyani raised objections. The transfer, according to the suit, was sought on the basis of documents showing that Dr Neelkanth and his wife Sulochana had gifted their share of land to Gaurishankar. Hiremath’s suit, however, terms these documents ‘misleading’, ‘bogus’, ‘sham and fabricated’ and ‘executed with the intention to wrongfully exclude’ her. Contd on p2
