Here's the scoop on a family feud that's made its way to the Bombay High Court. It's all about who gets what from the estate of the late Mr. Adil Yusuf Nensey. Let's break it down.
Shehzad and his brother, along with their mom Kishwar, are caught up in a legal fight over their late father's estate. Mr. Adil Nensey passed away on June 21, 2016, leaving behind a significant estate, including a poultry business in Umbergaon, Gujarat, and some rental properties in Wadala, Mumbai.
Back in 1991, Mr. Adil and his brother started Nensey Poultry Farm Pvt. Ltd. After a family agreement in 2012, Mr. Adil, Shehzad, and his mother and brother became the only owners. Shehzad was actively involved in the business until May 2022, when he took a break.
Things got tense after Shehzad married a Hindu woman in April 2022. Arguments came up, and by March 2023, Shehzad and his wife were told by a court to stay away from the family home in Bandra.
Mr. Adil owned two commercial properties in Wadala. After his death, Kishwar took away Shehzad's right to collect rent, and he claims he's been left out of the rental income since 2022.
Shehzad claims he's entitled to 43.75% of the estate under Shia law. He filed a lawsuit in 2024, seeking to protect the estate from being misused by his mother and brother. He also wanted to be added as a signer to the company’s bank accounts and for the rental income to be deposited with the court.
On May 7, 2024, the court ordered Kishwar and Shehzad’s brother to pay him Rs. 3,00,000 per month. Later, a Commissioner was appointed to look into the financial dealings of the estate and company. The report, submitted on September 10, 2025, revealed some questionable financial activities, like unexplained cash withdrawals and high employee expenses.
Judge Farhan P. Dubash decided on March 5, 2026, that Shehzad's requests for more control and financial transparency were too much to grant at this stage. The court emphasized that the issues raised should be handled by the National Company Law Tribunal, not in this civil case.
The court maintained the monthly payment order and accepted the defendants' promise not to sell any estate assets. Shehzad can ask for more money if needed, but for now, the court isn't changing much else.
