family arrangement instead of disturbing the same on
technical or trivial grounds. Where the courts find that the
family arrangement suffersfrom a legal lacuna or aformal
defect the rule of estoppel is pressed into service and is
applied to shut out plea oftheperson who being a party to
family arrangement seeks to unsettle a settled dispute and
claims to revoke the family arrangement under which he
has himself enjoyed some material benefits. The law in
England on this point is almost the same. In Halsbury's
Laws ofEngland, Vol. 17, Third Edition, atpp. 215-216,
the following apt observations regarding the essentials of
the family settlement and the principles governing the
existence ofthe same are made:
"A family arrangement is an agreement between
members of the same family, intended to be generally
and reasonably for the benefit of the family either by
compromising doubtful or disputed rights or by
preserving thefamily property or the peace and security
of the family by avoiding litigation or by saving its
honour. The agreement may be implied from a long
course ofdealing, but it is more usual to embody or to
effectuate the agreement in a deed to which the term
"family arrangement" is applied.
Family arrangements are governed by principles
which are not applicable to dealings between strangers.
The court, when deciding the rights of parties under
family arrangements or claims to upset such
arrangements, considers what in the broadest view of
the matter is most for the interest offamilies, and has
regard to considerations which, in dealing with
transactions between persons not members ofthe same
family, would not be taken into account. Matters which
would be fatal to the validity of similar transactions
between strangers are not objections to the binding
effect offamily arrangements. " .
~)--L (JZ~d~
62
made the following observations which were adopted by
the Privy Council:
... ... ... ... ... ... 19. Thus it would appear from a review of
the decisions analysed above that the courts have taken a
very liberal and broad view of the validity of the family
settlement and have always tried to uphold it and maintain
it. The central idea in the approach made by the courts is
that ifby consent ofparties a matter has been settled, it
should not be allowed to be reopened by the parties to the
agreement onfrivolous or untenable grounds "
under the family settlement, and which have fallen to the share of
Petitioners.
52. It is respectfully submitted that all the aforesaid aspects, facts and
events are relevant for the consideration of this Hon'ble Court. For
the sake of brevity, they have not been annexed with the present
Petition under Section 11. All the necessary facts have already been

43. A bare perusal of the aforesaid table clearly shows that the Respondents'
actions are not only to contrary to the agreed terms ofthe family settlement
but also actuated with malafide intent to cause continuance mental and
physical harassment to the Petitioners, depriving them of their hard earned
money and business reputation, earned over the last 4 decades, while
working jointly in the interest of the family, and also depriving the
Petitioners from their shares in the assets and properties as per the family
settlement. In fact, the Petitioners, with a view to resolve the disputes have

and deliberately allowed Mr. Kamal Gupta to siphon off and
misappropriated the hypothecated stock ofall three borrower entities
namely PP Jewellers (Exports), PP Jewellers (Delhi) and PP
Jewellers Pvt. Ltd when it could have easily been used to repay the
entire loan amount ".
51. It is respectfully submitted that all such events have created an imminent
need and necessity for immediately securing the stock belonging to these
three entities and for carrying out an audit of the stock ledger ofthese three
entities from 30.09.2014 onwards, in order to ascertain and apportion the
share ofthe respective family members in the stocks ofthese three entities,
in accordance with the terms of the family settlement.
UNWARRANTED AND THRUSTED LITiGAnON BY THE
RESPONDENTS
52. It is an admitted position that the family members have agreed that all the
family members shall be entitled to use the Trade mark and logo for their
own business. There has never been any dispute in this behalf, and all
family members have always remained the joint owners of the trademark
and logo of"P.P. Jewellers", "PPI" and "PP".
53. As mentioned hereinabove, pursuant to the family settlement deed dated
20.06.2015, the Petitioner No. 1 incorporated the company viz. P.P.
Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd. [ "PPJRPL" ] in July 2015 and the family of
the Petitioners have been operating their independent business under this
Company, at the Karol Bagh Showroom at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta
Road. All family members including the Respondents herein have been
aware of the business being operated by PPJRPL at the Karol Bagh
Showroom. Similarly, the other family members are also operating their
business(es) using the family owned trademarks, logos of"P.P. Jewellers".
54,. That in April 2021, P.P. Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd. had planned to open a
new showroom at South Extension Part I, New Delhi. The Respondents, in
order to obstruct and to cause harass
31
reputation of the Petitioners in the market, filed a misconceived,
misleading and mischievous suit, in the name of P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd.
against the Petitioner No. I, his son and P.P. Jewellers Retail Pvt. Ltd.,
falsely claiming exclusive rights over the trade mark and logo of "P.P.
Jewellers", and by blatantly suppressing! concealing the most relevant
documents including the family settlement.
55. It is respectfully submitted that the Respondents also indulged in blatant
abuse of process of law, inter alia, by making false statements on oath to
the effect that the business operations of P.P. Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd.
came to their knowledge only in April 2021 despite knowing fully well that
the said company has been incorporated in 2015, and has been carrying on
its business, independently from its own resources, at the Karol Bagh
Showroom. In fact, this blatant falsehood is also established by the fact that
P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd., under the control of Sh. Kamal Gupta, has itself
entered into sale transactions with P.P. Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd.
including in FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19.
56. It has been the submission on behalf of the Petitioners that based on such
suppression, misrepresentation and concealment, in the said suit, an order
dated 26.07.2021 came to be passed by the Ld. District Judge (Commercial
Court), Tis Hazari Courts in favour of PPJPL [ at the instance of
Respondent NO.1 herein ], which was challenged by PPJRPL alongwith
the Petitioner No. land his son before this Honble Court in FAO
(COMM.) No. 120 of 2021, titled as "PP Jewellers Retail Pvt. Limited &
Others vs. PP Jewellers Pvt. Lid".
57. In the said Appeal being FAO (COMM.) No. 120 of 2021, this Hon'ble
Court vide its order dated 30.07.2021, in Para 14, made inter alia the
following observations:-
" 14. For our purpose today. it is sufficient to notice that
the a ellants have been usin the Trade Marks and
58, That vide its Order dated 30.07,2021, this Hon'ble Court was also pleased
to appoint a Local Commissioner for the purpose of inventorying the entire
stock of raw materials and jewellery lying at the Karol Bagh Showroom,
belonging respectively to PP1L and PP1RPL.
59, It is respectfully submitted that there had not been any permissibility for
Sh. Kamal Gupta to raise any such plea through PP1PL, that the Petitioners
shall not be entitled to use the said trademark / logo etc, The Respondents
have demonstrated complete disregard for law through their blatant
attempt to indulge in abuse of process of law, including by suppressing /
concealing the most vital fact of the family settlement in the Plaint and
making false submissions on oath before the Hon'ble Courts.
60. This Hon'ble Court by its order dated 30.07,2021 in FAO (COMM.) No,
120 of 2021 has inter alia issued certain directions in relation to the
trademark. The Petitioners, without prejudice to their rights and
contentions, reserve their rights to seek appropriate reliefs in relation to the
trademark, at the appropriate stage, if the need so arises,
DISPUTE QUA THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSE - C-19
61, It is respectfully reiterated that as per the Family Settlement, the Petitioner'
share has been calculated as 25% in the property bearing no, C-19, Rana
Pratap Bagh, New Delhi (aithoug t
33
is the recorded owner of 50% of the said property under the registered Sale
Deed). It is submitted that the property bearing No. C-19, Rana Pratap
Bagh, New Delhi has two furnished floors, ground floor and first floor. The
Respondents are occupying more than 75% of its share whereas, the
Petitioners are in occupation of an area of approximately 25% only.
62. It is respectfully submitted that on the one hand, the Respondents are
'creating hindrances and obstructions in the exclusive use and ownership of
the property at 2700 Desh Bandhu Karol Bagh [ which is to the sole and
exclusive share ofPetitioners as per the family settlement] and on the other
hand, the Petitioners have been deprived of their rights in the residential
property on the ground that the family settlement records the share of the
Petitioners as 25%. In other words, on the one hand, relying on the family
settlement, the Respondents are occupying more than 75% area of the said
residential property and the Petitioners are occupying approx. 25% of the
said residential property - on the other hand,' the Respondents continue to
violate their other obligations under the terms of the family settlement.
63. It is reiterated that the Respondents are selectively complying only with
such provisions of the family settlement which are to their benefit, while
continuing to deprive the Petitioners oftheir entitlement(s) under the terms
of the family settlement.
BLATANT VIOLATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANIES
ACT, 2013 AND THE RULES FRAMED THEREUNDER
67. That it has recently been learnt by the Petitioner that the State Bank ofIndia
has filed a Petition under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code
2016 against PPJL. It is reiterated that the Petitioner No. I continues to be a
Director and Shareholder in PPJL. Despite the position held by the Petitioner
No. I in PPJL, no communication whatsoever was ever sent intimating the
Petitioner No.1 of the IBC proceedings.
68. It is a matter of record that the Company, in the capacity of Corporate
Debtor, accepted the notice on 15.03.2022 through an Advocate and
undertook to file its reply to the Company Petition uls 7 of the Code within
2 weeks i.e. by 29.03.2022. Thereafter, on 29.03.2022, the Company sought
another period of 10 days' time to file a reply to the Section 7 Petition,
however, it is believed that there are deliberate attempts to not to file the
Reply on behalf of the Company before the Ld. National Company Law
Tribunal (NCL T).
69. It is respectfully submitted that a company is necessarily required in law to
call for a necessary meeting of its members and pass Resolutions for
a;af'
conducting its affairs. It is most shocking to state that neither has PPJL called

,
77. It is respectfully submitted that all the aforesaid facts demonstrate the
intention of the Respondents to secure their own interests under the family
settlement, while acting prejudicially to the interest of the other family
members including the Petitioners herein.
78. It is most respectfully submitted that the continued acts of omission and
commission on behalf of the Respondents, are severely prejudicing the
interests of the Petitioners and the Group businesses. The Respondents
have miserably failed to act in terms of the Family Settlement and are
continuing to act in' breach of their obligations thereunder. The
Respondents have miserably failed to take any steps for discharging the
financial facilities of the Banks including by selling the immovable and
movable properties which are free from mortgage / lien / charge.
79. The deliberate acts of omission and commission of the Respondents are
further causing grave prejudice to the Petitioners by causing severe
monetary losses including by selling the joint family assets at undervalued
rates, as mentioned hereinabove.
80. It is respectfully submitted that there are not only serious apprehensions
but apparent possibilities to demonstrate and establish that Sh. Kamal
Gupta is acting in a manner to secure for himself the benefits, advantages,
interests and entitlements under the family settlement on the one hand and
taking all steps and actions in destroying the rights and entitlement, which

IV. However, on account of refusal by Rahul Gupta, even to accept such 23%
share and cooperate with the above division ~U1d since Mr. Rahul Gupta has
taken control of certain assets of Joint Family group. without discharging
his share of the liabilities and he has been working separately since 2015,
without any knowledge/consent of either KG or PO Groups (KG ami PO
Groups have no access to his personally controlled business affairs), the
family members are now of the unanimous view that the deliberations with
. '. Mr. Rahul Gupta to arrive at an amicable resolution, has already more than
significantly delayed and any further loss of time, would continue to affect
the overall global settlement, consequently hindering the growth of the
business interests of the whole group. The feelers and communications sent
to Mr. Rahul Gupta through well-wishers, near and dear, to sit across tor
settlement have been in vain till date.
v. The business of the group has also been adversely affected due to generic
economic depressed conditions causing severe financial distress, resulting in
the group being unable to meet its repayment obligations to several banks
which have extended the financial facilities to the group business and

perceived threats of recovery by these banks, as (he bunks have initiated

Sir,
My clients have handed over your notice dated 08.07.2022 to me with instructions
to reply as under:-
1. At the outset my Clients dispute and deny the contents of your notice dated
8.7.2022. My Clients instruct me to inform that the validity, legal effect
and the legal status of Family Settlement deed dated 20.6.2015 and Family
Settlement Deed dated 9.7.2019, which documents have been referred in
your notice under reply, is presently sub judice in CS (Comm .) No. 1551
of 2021 pending in the court of District Judge, Commercial Court-Oo,
District Central, Delhi.
2. The issue of status of these Family Settlement document being an issue sub
judice and pending in a prior proceeding, your attempt to invoke arbitration
on the same issue is clearly barred by law.
3. My Clients have disputed the legal efficacy of and the alleged binding
status being accorded to the said documents and reiterate the same in
response to your untenable attempt to invoke arbitration.
6. In the circumstances you are hereby called upon to withdraw your Notice
dated 8.7.2022 with immediate effect under intimation to the undersigned.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully
Tarun Singla,
