Amitabh Bachchan's famed Juhu home, Jalsa, is embroiled in a family legal battle, as his sister-in-law Ramola Bachchan contests a 1993 gift deed transferring the property's ownership to his wife Jaya Bachchan. Ramola, married to Amitabh's younger brother Ajitabh, has raised doubts about the deed's legitimacy, stating she was unaware of the transfer.
She submitted multiple complaints to the registration authorities over the past seven months, alleging the property was originally registered under her name, and the transaction took place without her consent. The dispute has been heard at the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies office in Andheri, Mumbai, where conflicting ownership records are at the heart of the matter.
While Kapol Housing Society documents name Jaya Bachchan as the property owner, the Maharashtra government's Property Card lists Ramola's name. Ramola has also questioned the 1993 gift deed's execution, alleging it was prepared on plain paper without stamp duty and lacking witness signatures. The authorities are yet to decide on the validity of the disputed document and the conflicting ownership claims.
