Delhi HC Pushes Back on Priya Kapur’s NDA, Sealed-Cover Bid in Sunjay Kapur Estate Case

The judge questioned broad secrecy, scheduling further submissions for Friday.

Overview

  • Priya Sachdev Kapur asked to disclose Sunjay Kapur’s asset list only under NDAs or in a sealed cover, citing cybersecurity risks and media leaks.
  • Justice Jyoti Singh said the whole suit cannot be sealed and noted that beneficiaries must access asset details to verify claims and file responses.
  • The court asked Priya’s side to propose a narrowly tailored solution and listed the application for further consideration on Friday, with interim relief set for October 9.
  • Plaintiffs’ counsel alleged money in a bank account named in the will had been wiped out, while Sunjay Kapur’s mother sought a copy of the will and called NDAs unusual in a partition suit.
  • Earlier orders required Priya to file a full asset inventory as of June 12 and submit the purported March 21 will under seal, as her team maintains the will’s validity and notes prior trust transfers of about Rs 1,900 crore to the children.
