According to that agreement, Madhupati and his family relinquished their share of wealth and property.

The grandchildren have now alleged that the settlement agreement ignored their rights as minors a claim which has been disputed by Vijaypat Singhania.

Vijaypat in a reply to the high court has said that the suits filed by his grandchildren did not show how ancestral property is involved in the agreement.

He also said that parents being “natural guardians” have a right to enter into an arrangement on behalf of their minor children. Singhania’s has also raised the issue of limitation as there has been a delay in filing of the suits by his grandchildren.

The grandchildren had sought rights to the Raymond brand, ancestral properties, real estate and other movable and immovable assets of the group.

On 9 February, Vijaypat Singhania transferred a 37.17% of stake in Raymond Ltd to his younger son Gautam Singhania.
