	Birlas not to let 'outsider' grab property
		Though Kumarmangalam Birla, who heads the Aditya Birla group, was not present during the opening of the will and also at the subsequent Birla family meeting, he is very much with the family on the issue.
		Since M P Birla and Priyamvada did not have any child, the property, according to family sources, should have gone to the young Yashovardhan Birla, who is the closest blood relation of M P Birla.
		The Birla family sources said Priyamvada's will came as a complete surprise as even those who were considered close to her have not been given anything.

	Print Article - What the quota panel told the government
		The Birlas have said MP Birla group assets should not go out of the family under the undivided Hindu family law, but Lodha's lawyers have argued that the claim was untenable because the Birla family business had long been divided since the time of G.D. Birla.
		The Birla family, which has united in their opposition to Lodha's inheritance of the MP Birla group fortunes, has said it was "very surprised" with Priyamvada's will because she had expressed her wish to transfer all her wealth to a charitable trust.
		M.P. Birla and Priyamvada did not have any children, but the Birla family had expected Priyamvada to pass on the group's reins to their nephew's son Yashovardhan Birla or bequeath it all to a trust.

		Birla once defensively wrote Gandhi, not in response to rebuke from Gandhi, but to reports that conditions were bad in his mills.
		Birla's preferred method was to quietly strengthen the opposition to Nehru by bolstering the non-revolutionary, right-wing elements in the anti-British camp.

		Birla family members were ignored in the bequests, much to their shock, when the will of deceased matriarch Priyamvada Birla (76) was read at the family mansion Birla Park in Kolkata on July 12.
		With seven distinct groups within the Birla clan, of which the MP Birla Group is one, the combined family assets are estimated to be in the region of $8.8 billion.

		The Birla-Lodha fight for the control of M P Birla group today entered a stage of intrigue with Rajendra Lodha submitting before the court that the Birla family business had been divided long ago and Mahatma Gandhi was a witness to one such document way back in 1934.
		One by one Lodha's counsel countered the arguments put forward by the Birlas in their affidavits in opposition saying that none of them had any caveatable interest in the matter relating to goods of Priyamvada Birla, who by a purported will bequeathed the entire assets of the group to Rajendra Lodha, the company's auditor.
		Seeking discharge of the caveats by four Birlas, Mitra, however, conceded that the two other caveaters, Radha Devi Mohta and Laxmi Newar, sisters of M P Birla, could be considered as interested parties in the matter.
