Twinkle Khanna, daughter of deceased actor Rajesh Khanna, has appealed against the recent judgment of the Bombay High Court allowing a copy of his will to Anita Advani. Ms. Advani has claimed to be Mr. Khanna’s partner who took care of him during his last years.
On Friday, Ms. Khanna’s appeal came up for hearing before the division bench headed by Chief Justice Mohit Shah. The court granted interim relief to her and posted the matter for hearing on August 4.
Ms. Advani’s counsel told the court that she would not take a copy of the will from the Registrar’s office till Monday. The Khanna family has moved an application to probate Rajesh Khanna’s will. According to the family, the will does not mention any share to Anita Advani.
Twinkle Khanna says in the appeal that Ms. Advani is not a legal heir of Mr. Khanna and has no caveatable interest in his property. Since she is neither going to get the property under the will nor as an heir, she should not be made party to the probate proceedings, the appeal says.
