Delhi HC Warns Against ‘Melodrama’ in Kapur Estate Case After Unpaid Fee Claim

Arguments on the siblings’ interim bid to restrain Priya Kapur will resume on November 19 as the court pushes for a full disclosure of Sunjay Kapur’s assets.

Overview

  • Karisma Kapoor’s children are contesting the validity of late Sunjay Kapur’s purported will and seeking an interim order to stop Priya Kapur from dealing with assets reported at about ₹30,000 crore.
  • Their counsel, Mahesh Jethmalani, told the court that Samaira’s US university fees had gone unpaid for two months, citing a matrimonial decree requiring Sunjay to fund the children’s education.
  • Priya Kapur’s lawyer, Rajiv Nayar, rejected the allegation as fabricated, said all dues including the fees have been paid, and noted the children have already received ₹1,900 crore from the family trust.
  • Justice Jyoti Singh cautioned both sides that she did not want the hearing to become melodramatic and instructed Priya’s legal team to ensure such personal finance disputes are handled outside court.
  • Priya’s side defended the will’s execution with witness affidavits and electronic metadata, as the High Court continues hearing the interim injunction application.
