Delhi HC Concludes Arguments in Sunjay Kapur Estate Case, Sets Dec. 22 Hearing

Written submissions will address jurisdiction over foreign assets alongside challenges to the will’s credibility.

Overview

  • Priya Sachdev Kapur argued the Delhi High Court cannot restrain dealings in Sunjay Kapur’s immovable properties in the US and UK, asserting such matters lie with foreign courts.
  • Counsel for Karisma Kapoor’s children urged the court to bar Priya from using the alleged forged will to claim title abroad while their injunction plea is decided.
  • Justice Jyoti Singh closed oral arguments on the interim application, directed written submissions, and listed the matter for further consideration on December 22.
  • Plaintiffs cited corporate filings to dispute Priya’s ‘position swap’ narrative, noting her removal from AIPL on May 31, 2023, followed by her appointment as director a day after Sunjay’s death and reinstatement as managing director within a week.
  • Questions were raised about executor Shradha Suri Marwah’s conduct, including a claim that an email attachment said to contain the will was deleted, as reports peg the estate at roughly ₹30,000 crore.
