Delhi HC Orders Asset Disclosure in Sunjay Kapur ₹30,000-Crore Estate Dispute

The judge scheduled an October 9 hearing after requiring a full inventory of the late chairman’s holdings.

Overview

  • Sunjay Kapur’s children Samaira and Kiaan filed a civil suit challenging a March 21, 2025 will they allege is forged and was withheld until a July 30 family meeting.
  • The Delhi High Court issued summons and directed widow Priya Sachdev Kapur to file a list of all movable and immovable assets as of June 12, the date of Kapur’s death.
  • The court declined an immediate status quo but said the will could be shown to the children under confidentiality, with an interim injunction plea to be considered next month.
  • Priya’s counsel argued the unregistered will is valid and told the court the children received about ₹1,900 crore in assets shortly before filing; counsel for Priya’s minor son said the signed will was executed before witnesses and shared on March 24 in a WhatsApp group.
  • The suit seeks Class I heir recognition, a one-fifth share each and a freeze on personal assets, as Kapur’s mother Rani also questioned the will and claimed she was excluded.
