Overview

• In a hearing on October 9, Sunjay Kapur’s children alleged the March 21, 2025 will leaving his personal estate to Priya Sachdev Kapur is a forged Microsoft Word document with metadata showing edits on March 17 while he was on holiday.
• Justice Jyoti Singh opened the sealed asset disclosure, noted it was not signed or indexed, and directed a corrected filing with proper attestation and affidavits.
• The plaintiffs said no affidavits have been filed by the will’s witnesses or the named executor and asked for status quo to prevent creation of third‑party rights pending verification.
• Priya Kapur’s counsel denied all allegations and maintained the will was duly executed and attested well before Sunjay Kapur’s death.
• Court filings and arguments referenced the estate’s scale of about Rs 30,000 crore, claims that witnesses later took company roles, and Priya’s disclosure that Rs 1,900 crore has already been received from the family trust, with further hearing listed for October 13.
