Mumbai:
The Rahul Bajaj group, acting through Bajaj Sevashram,
has filed a case in the High Court against Shishir Bajaj
and son Kushagra, alleging ''breach of trust'' and claiming
a compensation of Rs600 crore.
The suit is a result if Kushagra''s refusal to acknowledge
a verbal agreement reached between the two groups after
two meetings held in 2005-06.
Rahul
Bajaj says the final settlement between the two groups
was to be based on three things an MoU of the family
settlement, family mediator DS Mehta''s decision and two
meetings held between Niraj Bajaj and Kushagra Bajaj.
According
to Rahul Bajaj, in the fourth and final meeting it was
decided that a mirror image company of Bacchraj &
would be created by transferring the Bajaj Hindusthan
shares and Shishir would hold a 78-per cent stake in that
company.
Bajaj
said Kushagra denies that the discussion ever took place
as the minutes of the two meetings were not recorded the
Shishir Bajaj faction has subsequently denied any such
discussion, prompting Rahul and other members of the faction
to take the matter to court.
The
Shishir faction wants to go by the original MoU and DS
Mehta''s decisions. With both parties taking a hard stance
on the matter, the settlement issue is unlikely to be
resolved even at CLB hearing in May 2007.
