Nandamuri Jayakrishna, son of former chief minister late N T Rama Rao, and his wife Padmaja have approached second additional chief judge of the Hyderabad city civil court to transfer to them two lockers which contain jewellery of their deceased daughter Kumudini in Chennai.
These lockers are in the names of Kumudini and her husband Srinath Prasad at Kothari Safe Deposits Ltd and Madras Safe Deposit Company Ltd in Chennai.
Srinath Prasad was earlier convicted by a family court in Chennai as the person responsible for the suicide of Kumudini. A legal battle between Srinath Prasad and Jayakrishna over the custody of the two minor sons of Kumudini and Srinath which involved the high court of Madras, Supreme Court and a family court in New York ended in a compromise.
According to this compromise, Jayakrishna and his wife were made custodians of the two minors and their properties in India.
The children, however, would be with their father while residing in New York. Their father who had appealed against his conviction is now staying in New York.
Jayakrishna, who moved the city civil court with the latest application, said in his petition that due to the sudden death of his daughter and the trauma that followed, they could not immediately mention the particulars of the two lockers that were lying in the name of their daughter in Chennai while executing a compromise deal earlier.
They argued that since they had gifted the jewellery in these lockers to their daughter and also since they are now the guardians of her children in India, it is only fair to transfer these lockers to them.
The court posted the matter to June 19 for further hearing in this case.
