There comes a new twist in the legal dispute between the late actor Nirupa Roy's two sons over her Nepean Sea Road property, Embassy Apartments, estimated a worth price of Rs 100 crore. Mumbai Mirror has reported that the document was made by her husband in 2010 and was hidden all along by her younger son Kiran, claims the elder brother Yogesh.

The sons are fighting for exclusive rights to one of the bedrooms used by Nirupa citing they have "sentiments" attached to it.

Reportedly, Kiran told the Bombay High Court that his mother wanted him to have all her properties and his father Kamal Roy, had made a will bestowing the Embassy Apartments house to him. Yogesh has now informed the court that his father had written a second will naming him as the sole owner of the disputed flat. According to Yogesh, a house in Gulmarg building in the same neighbourhood was to go to Kiran as per the second will.

Yogesh, citing the second will, which was apparently registered in 2010, has claimed that the other properties of the family are to be equally divided between the brothers. Also, it reportedly says that Kiran would vacate the Embassy Apartments house within three months of his father's demise.

The tabloid further reports that Amna Usman, who is representing Yogesh said, "The testamentary petition for probate of the said will of 2010 was filed by the executor and is currently before the High court of judicature at Bombay."

However, Zulfiquar Memon who is representing Kiran, said the document was fake. "We are aware of the forged will and we have challenged the same. The law is very clear. Registration of a will is not mandatory and does not authenticate a will. Yogesh has gone to the extent of making false statements to various departments and unauthorisedly managed to fabricate a lot. When the time comes, the truth will surface," he said.

In the current dispute in the Bombay High Court, Kiran's petition accuses Yogesh of "threatening and intimidating" him to gain "complete control" of the house. According to Kiran, Nirupa had bequeathed all her properties to him, and Kamal Roy in his last will had also named Kiran as the sole owner of apartment.

Based on this will made in 2004, Kiran sought a court order to permanently restrain Yogesh and his family from accessing the portions of the house occupied by Kiran and his family besides equal rights to common areas like the hall, kitchen and the garden.
