Udaipur, 19 December (Udaipur Kiran) — A legal dispute has emerged over the self-acquired properties of the late Arvind Singh Mewar, a former member of the Mewar royal family. His daughters — Padmaja Kumari and Bhargavi Kumari — have challenged his will before the Supreme Court.
The matter was heard on Wednesday in the court of the Chief Justice of India. After reviewing submissions from all parties, the Supreme Court ordered that all ongoing cases related to the will — currently pending before the Jodhpur High Court and the Mumbai High Court — be transferred to the Delhi High Court.
The court has directed all parties to appear before the Delhi High Court on 12 January 2026.
Background of the Dispute
According to the case details, the late Arvind Singh Mewar executed his final will on 7 February 2025, registering it at the Sub-Registrar Office in Udaipur. In the will, he named his son Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar as the sole heir to his self-acquired properties.
Lakshyaraj Singh had filed a petition in the Rajasthan High Court, Jodhpur, seeking letters of administration based on this will.
However, Padmaja Kumari Parmar challenged the same will in the Mumbai High Court, where Bhargavi Kumari also became a party. As the same will was under challenge in different courts, Lakshyaraj Singh approached the Supreme Court seeking to transfer the Mumbai case to Jodhpur. In response, Padmaja and Bhargavi sought transfer of the Jodhpur case to Mumbai.
Considering both requests, the Supreme Court has now moved all related litigations to the Delhi High Court, ensuring a consolidated hearing of the matter.
The dispute marks a significant development within the former Mewar royal family, with the legal proceedings now set for the next hearing in January 2026.
