Urvashi Devi, maternal granddaughter of Sawai Man Singh, also opposed the share transfer.
The High Court, in its judgement, had said, "Admittedly, these shares were in the name of Jagat Singh who had bequeathed them to his mother Gayatri Devi and she in terms of a settlement arrived at between her grandchildren, followed by her will had bequeathed the said share holding thereafter in favour of her grandchildren (Devraj and Lalitya)..."
In its plea to the apex court, Jai Mahal Hotel Pvt Ltd said, "The company judge (of HC) has practically declared Devraj's Group to be legal heirs of the late Maharaj Jagat Singh and late Rajmata Gayatri Devi directly contrary to order dated 19.08.2010 of a Coordinate Bench of the Delhi High Court hearing the Civil Suit for partition amongst the same family members wherein the Civil Court had declared both the groups to be the legal heirs of late Gayatri Devi.
"There are two groups claiming the shares as legal heirs, viz. Devraj's group and Urvashi Devi's group.
"Though Gayatri Devi was throughout supporting Urvashi Devi Group, but just before her death it is claimed a compromise between Devraj Group and Gyatri Devi took place which resulted in a compromise decree being passed by the district judge, Jaipur on 19.02.2009 whereby entire estate including shares of Jagat Singh now comes to Devraj Group."
The petition further said, "The impugned (HC) judgement is contrary to documents on record. If the will of Jagat Singh is held to be valid as has been done then Devraj Group automatically gets excluded from succession. The property of Jagat Singh devolved to Gayatri Devi and since Jagat Singh was adopted out of the family, Devraj Group went out of the family and upon death of Gayatri Devi her entire property would devolve on Urvashi Devi Group."
