Supreme Court Extends Sunjay Kapur Family Mediation Till November
Some people in a family are having a big disagreement.
They took their problem to court.
The judges in the court did not want them to fight in court for many years.
Instead, they asked the family to try something called mediation.
Mediation is when a helper sits with both sides and helps them talk calmly and find an agreement.
The judges gave the family time until November to try this.
They told the family to go with an open mind and an open heart.
That means being ready to listen and to make peace.
If they cannot agree, the court will let them continue the case in the normal way.
But the judges really hope everyone will settle their problem peacefully.
The Supreme Court extended mediation in the Sunjay Kapur family dispute until November.
The court said it is hopeful the dispute can be settled amicably between the parties.
The Bench advised both sides to go with an open mind and open heart rather than long-drawn litigation.
Justice Pardiwala said the parties will be allowed to proceed in accordance with law if mediation fails.
The judge expressed hope that the day mediation fails would not come.
