Overview
- Summons were issued on the suit by Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, with the court directing Priya Sachdev Kapur to file a list of all movable and immovable assets held by Sunjay Kapur as of June 12, the day he died.
- The bench declined to order an immediate status quo on properties and scheduled arguments on interim relief, including a requested asset freeze, for October 9.
- Priya’s counsel told the court the children received assets worth about ₹1,900 crore from a family trust days before the suit, a claim the plaintiffs counter by seeking recognition as Class I heirs and a one‑fifth share each.
- The court noted the will is unregistered and suggested it be shared with the children under a confidentiality arrangement, after Priya’s side offered to present it to the judge in a sealed form.
- Rani Kapur also contests the will and says she has been left with nothing, while sister Mandhira Kapur Smith publicly backed the children’s challenge; Sunjay Kapur died on June 12 in the UK during a polo match.
