DMD Advocates Represents Padmaja Kumari Parmar in Mewar Royal Family Property Dispute Before Delhi High Court
The leading law firm in India, DMD Advocates had a successful hearing in the matter today before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the Mewar royal family property dispute.
Proceedings Before the Court
The Appeal filed by Padmaja Kumari Parmar, against the order of the Learned Single Judge of the Delhi High Court dismissing her Petition seeking grant of letters of administration, was listed and heard today by the Division Bench of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court, comprising of J. Vivek Chaudhary and J. Renu Bhatnagar. The Appeal Court admitted the Appeal and observed that the Petition filed by Padmaja Kumari Parmar should not have been dismissed.
The Appeal Court further stated that both the Petitions filed by the sister Padmaja Kumari Parmar and brother Lakshyaraj concerning the estate of the late Arvind Singh Mewar should have been heard, tried, and decided together. If Lakshayraj’s Petition failed, the court would then need to decide whether letters of administration should be granted to Padmaja. Therefore, the court observed that the outcome of one proceeding directly affected the other, which is why both should have been kept together and determined simultaneously.
Background of the Dispute
The dispute centres around the estate of late Arvind Singh Mewar, a member of the erstwhile royal family of Udaipur, who died in March 2025. Padmaja Kumari Parmar, who is the elder sister of Lakshyaraj, filed for Letters of Administration regarding the estate of late Arvind Singh Mewar, including all movable and immovable properties, on the grounds that the deceased died without leaving a will, as an alleged copy of a will shared by brother Lakshyaraj was fraught with suspicion and excluded the widow and the two daughters completely, which was highly unnatural.
Lakshyaraj, in counter-blast, filed another Letters of Administration, subsequently producing the purported testamentary writing (alleged will). Both these proceedings were transferred by the Supreme Court on 18.12.2026 for consideration by the Delhi High Court.
The Delhi High Court had dismissed the Petition filed by Padmaja asking her to file her response and contest all her points in Lakshyaraj’s Petition, to which an appeal was filed by Padmaja Kumari Parmar, and the same has now been admitted by the Division Bench.
