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.
