Lodha vs Lodha: No unsettled claims between brothers, mother claims in a letter

Breaking the silence over the ongoing dispute between brothers Abhishek and Abhinandan over a family settlement agreement and the use of the Lodha brand, their mother Manju Lodha has stated that neither brother has any valid claim on the other’s business. Abhinandan’s regret When contacted, a spokesperson for Abhinandan Lodha said that it was disappointing that a letter addressed by a mother to her children was being shared with people outside the family for “ulterior motives and to create a false narrative." “The 2017 agreement clearly states that the Lodha real estate business and its IPR, including trade name “Lodha" is owned by, and will exclusively be used by, Macrotech/Lodha Developers," he told Mint in an email. The dispute between the two warring brothers first came to light earlier this year when Macrotech Developers moved the Bombay High Court in January to restrict The House of Abhinandan Lodha from using the Lodha name. As per the family agreement signed by the two brothers in March 2017—a copy of which Mint has Abhinandan Lodha’s new business was to develop a distinct identity “clearly differentiated from the Lodha real estate business" but could advertise itself as an “Abhinandan Lodha venture/project."
