New Delhi: Invoking spirituality in the dispute over the billion-dollar assets of late industrialist Sanjay Kapoor, the Supreme Court on Thursday reminded his mother and wife of the transience of life and said it is always better to resolve issues amicably than endless fighting.The court-directed mediation process hit a wall even before it could begin, with Kapoor’s mother Rani Kapoor alleging that two new independent directors were being appointed to the company to dilute her point of view and Priya Kapoor arguing that this was being done on the instructions of the RBI. A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan appealed to them to be liberal and not go into the arbitration with a prejudicial mind. The SC also directed that no director will be appointed in the meantime.The bench asked Priya to be a little careful with her mother-in-law, pointing out that she was 80 years old and unhappy. It urged both parties not to do anything that could derail the arbitration proceedings. “End the dispute amicably, otherwise it will be a very long battle,” the bench said.Asking both sides to compromise a bit, the Supreme Court said, “We all came into this world empty-handed, and we have to leave the world empty-handed. We come with only our soul. We come with our soul and go with our soul only.”Since the parties had expressed willingness to participate in the mediation, the Supreme Court on May 7 had appointed former CJI DY Chandrachud as the mediator and asked him to refrain from making public statements.
