Her family has approached the [[Delhi High Court]] to regain 800 kg of gold which was taken away by the government in 1975 describing possession of the gold by Gayatri Devi to be illegal as per the Gold Control Act, 1968. In 2012, the central government counsel S.K. Dubey told the court the possession of raw gold by Gayatri Devi was illegal. Dubey added, "The family has violated both the rules, so a fine of Rs.1.5 crore was imposed on them by the government. It was later reduced to Rs.80 lakh."<ref name="v915">{{cite news |title=Gayatri Devi's heirs fight govt for 800 kg gold |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2010/Jan/31/gayatri-devis-heirs-fight-govt-for-800-kg-gold-165906.html |work=The New Indian Express |date=31 January 2010 |access-date=15 June 2024}}</ref>
