A fresh family property dispute has come to light concerning 'Jalsa', the Mumbai residence of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan in the Juhu area. Ramola Bachchan, wife of Amitabh's younger brother Ajitabh, has challenged the validity of a gift deed executed in 1993, raising questions over the ownership of the property. She has alleged that the deed transferred ownership of the house to actress Jaya Bachchan without her knowledge or consent.
The matter is currently pending before the Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies in Mumbai's Andheri area. Hearings have commenced following multiple complaints filed by Ramola over the past seven months.
Discrepancies in Ownership Documents at the Core
Ramola has claimed that 'Jalsa' was initially registered in her name. She contends that the 1993 gift deed subsequently transferred ownership to Jaya Bachchan, a transfer she says was carried out without her awareness.
The dispute centers on inconsistencies in the property's ownership records. While documents of the Kapol Housing Society list Jaya Bachchan as the owner of 'Jalsa', Ramola has questioned the legality of that transfer.
Legal Proceedings and Next Steps
As the matter is sub judice before the Deputy Registrar's office, no final order or ruling has been issued yet. Hearings have begun based on the multiple complaints filed by Ramola, and the legal process remains ongoing. The Bollywood fraternity and fans of the Bachchan family are closely monitoring the outcome of this case.
