Maharani Gayatri Devi in legal battle with Jaipurs Royal family

Filed under:

New Delhi : The erstwhile Royal family of Jaipur is engaged in a legal tug of war over the Jai Mahal Palace, now a Heritage Hotel, with Maharani Gayatri Devis estranged grandchildren approaching the Company Law Board on management of the property.

The petitioners, Devraj Singh and Lalitya Kumari Singh, the estranged children of late Maharaja Jagat Singh, in their suit against Jai Mahal Hotels Ltd have alleged suppression of facts (Section 397 of the Company Act) and mismanagement of the company (Section 398).

During the proceedings in CLB, Jai Mahal Hotels counsel U K Chaudhary argued that the plea was not maintainable as according to the will of Gayatri Devis husband Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II, Jagat Singhs children were disqualified from having any claim on the property after his divorce from Rajawongse Priyanandana Rangsit, a Thai Princess.

Jagat Singh, who died in London in 1997, was the fourth and youngest son of Sawai Man Singh II, the last ruling King of Jaipur, but the only child born to Maharani Gayatri Devi – the Kings third wife.
