Dimple Kapadia Bunglow number one - Birla House compound, Juhu

Dimple Kapadia's marriage to actor Rajesh Khanna ended in 11 years but
still going strong for over three decades is a court battle against
her family's possession of the Birla-owned Juhu Bungalow where the
Hindu wedding took place.
The fight is now against a small causes court order directing the
Kapadia family and Killick Nixon Ltd to vacate and ''hand over
peaceful possession'' of the spacious ground floor premises of
bungalow number one in the Birla House compound, Juhu. The Bombay high
court has stayed the order against the Kapadias and is expected to
hear the matter in appeal soon.
It is a legal fight that began in 1978 when Laxmi Properties whose
managing director is now Yash Birla moved the small causes court to
recover possession of its property. The Birla company said it had
given the ground floor premises on a 11-month leave and licence for Rs
2,000 per month to Killick Nixon which used it for the residence of
its 'managing director' Chunilal Kapadia, Dimple's father.
In 2005, a small causes judge dismissed the Birla suit on the
grounds that it had no jurisdiction. But in October 2009, the appeal
bench of the court that handles all landlord-tenant battles not only
said it had the jurisdiction but also held that the Kapadias were ''in
unlawful possession'' of the premises. Dimple's father has expired,
she no longer resides in the Juhu bungalow but her brother Suhail does
and her mother Betty sometimes does too. Dimple's mother claimed
protection under the Rent Cotrol Act.
