Delhi High Court Probes Forgery Allegations in Sunjay Kapur Estate Case as Judge Flags Filing Defects

Plaintiffs cite MS Word metadata suggesting third‑party edits to the will.

Overview

  • Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani alleged the March 2025 will is a forged document, pointing to file timestamps and storage on aide Nitin Sharma’s device as evidence of a coordinated plan.
  • He argued the will was modified in mid‑March while Sunjay was with his son, and said Priya Kapur became AIPL managing director on June 24 with Sharma appointed director on August 2.
  • Justice Jyoti Singh opened Priya Kapur’s sealed asset list in court and noted it lacked an affidavit, signatures and indexing, directing her to comply, as the court heard that witness affidavits are also absent.
  • In a new affidavit, Sunjay’s mother Rani Kapur described marital estrangement since 2023, questioned any sole‑beneficiary claim for Priya, and said Priya was removed from AIPL leadership in May 2023.
  • The suit CS(OS)-627/2025 seeks status quo and scrutiny of asset movements tied to an estate estimated near Rs 30,000 crore and linked to Sona Comstar promoter entities, with the next hearing listed for October 13.
