Overview

• Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani told Justice Jyoti Singh the March 21 will is a clumsy forgery, citing Microsoft Word metadata showing edits on March 17 while Sunjay was on holiday and digital footprints of aides.
• He argued the will and trust structure allocate about 60 percent of assets to Priya Kapur, around 12 percent via her son, and control of roughly 75 percent of the family trust, while seeking status quo orders and pointing to possible offences under IPC Section 467.
• Justice Singh opened the sealed asset list, noted it lacked a signature, affidavit and index, and directed Priya Kapur to re-file a properly verified list.
• Sunjay’s mother Rani Kapur, in an affidavit, described marital estrangement since 2023 and said it was unlikely he intended Priya as sole beneficiary, a position Priya disputes.
• Priya’s counsel denied wrongdoing, asserting the will was executed and attested long before Sunjay’s death, and the court set the next hearing for October 13.
