Case Overview
The inheritance battle over late businessman Sunjay Kapur’s assets has intensified.
His children with karisma kapoor — Samaira Kapur and Kiaan raj Kapur — are challenging the distribution of assets.
They allege that a bogus will is being used to transfer assets to Sunjay’s widow, priya Kapur.
The delhi High court is now intervening, particularly on the issue of confidentiality in asset disclosures.
Delhi HC’s Recent Direction
The court ordered that a copy of Sunjay Kapur’s will be given to his mother, rani Kapur.
This came amid objections from the children against sealing the asset list.
Arguments by Karisma Kapoor’s Children
Represented by Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani.
Strongly opposed to filing the asset list in a sealed cover.
Stated that confidentiality was being misused to hide and divert assets.
Asserted: “My client is an inheritor. We must know what has been left out.”
Claimed that both the trust and the will used in the transfer were highly questionable.
Priya Kapur’s Counterarguments
Represented by Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar.
Requested the court to maintain confidentiality, citing intense media scrutiny.
Pointed out that while this is a civil property matter, it has gained significant public attention.
Warned that sensitive information could easily leak into the public domain.
