Overview
- Justice Jyoti Singh permitted a sealed-cover filing of the late industrialist’s movable and immovable assets and recorded commitments from all parties and counsel that nothing will be leaked to the media.
- The court directed that the original will remain in the custody of the Registrar General and that Sunjay Kapur’s mother, Rani Kapur, receive a copy subject to a non‑leak undertaking.
- The bench declined to constitute a formal confidentiality club after parties agreed to maintain confidentiality, balancing disclosure to litigants with limits on public dissemination.
- Samaira and Kiaan Kapur continue to contest the March 21, 2025 will as forged, with their counsel alleging bank accounts named in the will were emptied and shares appropriated, claims Priya Kapur disputes as she cites cybersecurity risks in open disclosures.
- The substantive challenges to the will, asset-tracing allegations, and requests for interim relief are scheduled to be taken up next on October 9.
