The judge intervened after Kalyani failed to arrive at the designated meeting location, which was the samadhi (memorial) of Neelkanth Kalyani, their father. Hiremath waited at the samadhi, but she found the site locked and was unable to enter the property.
On February 19, Baba Kalyani emailed his sister, Sugandha Hiremath, stating that no agreement had been made regarding the meeting venue. He denied that he had consented to meet her at the samadhi. Instead, he proposed to hold the meeting at Amit Bungalow in Kalyani Nagar. He emphasized that, as it was a family matter, the presence of all three siblings was necessary to take a decision. He also pointed out that there was no confirmation from his brother, Gaurishankar Kalyani, about joining the meeting. However, Hiremath said she did not want to meet Baba Kalyani at their house.
At the hearing on Thursday, the judge recommended that both parties consider meeting at a neutral location to try to resolve their differences. Following the court’s suggestion, a spokesperson for the Kalyani family confirmed that Baba Kalyani met his sister at a hotel in the city that evening.

During their closed door meeting, Hiremath learned from Baba Kalyani that he had already built a shrine for their parents in Kashi. This came as a surprise to her as he had not mentioned it in any of their previous correspondence or during court proceedings, she said. Hiremath stated, “If it is true, I will go and pay my respects to my parents. After that, I will decide my future course of action.”
The matter is scheduled to be heard again in court on February 24.
