The chain was originally called the Edwardian Group, before joining forces with the Carlson family's US-based Radisson brand to form Radisson Blu Edwardian in 1997. The business is now worth an estimated 800 million pounds.
Although he provided the initial capital, Mohinder said he put his son in charge because of his level of English and his accountancy skills.
Mohinder told the court his son forced him to retire in 2010 and has since failed to share dividends generated by the business.
Mohinder's counsel, John McDonnell QC, said: “The father is not claiming a share of any of Jasminder's wealth acquired by his own efforts. It is our claim that Jasminder's wealth is the family's wealth. The only cash put into the family's empire is that put in by the father in the 70s.”
The wheelchair-bound Mohinder and his 80-year-old wife Satwant live with Jasminder in a seven-bedroom country house in Berkshire with their extended families.
