On Wednesday, the Supreme Court gave its much-awaited verdict of ordering CBI Probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s case. The family had rejoiced and even issued a joint statement thanking all fans and well-wishers.
Now SSR’s father K.K Singh has also issued another statement – stating that he’s the legal heir of Sushant. He also said that Sushant’s engagements with his lawyer, chartered accountant and other professionals ended with his death, and no one could represent the actor’s property without K.K Singh’s consent.
This statement has been issued because some lawyers have appeared before media, claiming to be engaged by Sushant.
The official statement clarifying the situation reads-
“It is hereby declared that I am the legal heir of late Shri. Sushant Singh Rajput and in that capacity any arrangement that Sushant had during his lifetime for the engagement of any lawyer, Chartered Accountant and other professional came to an end upon the death of Sushant and thereafter no lawyer, Chartered Accountant or other person is entitled to represent the estate of Sushant without my express consent. Recently some lawyers have appeared in the media claiming themselves to be lawyers engaged by Sushant. They have talked on media about the alleged privileged communication between Sushant and them. Clearly such disclosure is barred by section 12b of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and the Bar Council of India Rules ‘Rule 17, Part VI. Chapter III, without my consent, as I am representing the estate of Sushant. I have not given any consent to anyone of them to either continue them to represent Sushant or disclose any communincation barred’ by section 126 of the Evidence Act, 1872.
It is also made clear that only I and my daughters comprise the family of Sushant and we have authorized Mr. Varun Singh (SKI: Law Offices. Commercial) as our Advocate and through him Mr. Vikas Singh. Sr Advocate, to represent the family. Any other person claiming himself to he the family member does not have my consent.”
