Delhi High Court Orders Asset Disclosure in Sunjay Kapur Estate Fight

The judge examined the disputed unregistered will, directing Priya Kapur to file a full inventory as of June 12 with the case listed for October 9.

Overview

  • Summons were issued on the suit by Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, with the court declining an immediate status quo on properties and setting interim relief for consideration on October 9.
  • Priya Kapur was ordered to disclose a complete list of the late Sunjay Kapur’s movable and immovable assets as of the date of his death.
  • The High Court examined the will in court, returned it to Priya’s lawyers, and indicated it could be shared with the plaintiffs under a non-disclosure agreement.
  • Priya’s counsel acknowledged the will is unregistered and argued it remains valid, while asserting the children received about ₹1,900 crore from a family trust days before the suit.
  • The plaintiffs allege the March 21 document was forged and surfaced only at a July 30 family meeting, seek recognition as Class I heirs with one-fifth shares each, and note Sunjay’s mother Rani Kapur has also questioned the will.
