Overview
- Justice Jyoti Singh closed proceedings on December 24 after taking all written submissions on record and barred any further filings before the order.
- Sunjay Kapur’s children, Samaira and Kiaan, and his mother, Rani, contest a 2025 will naming widow Priya Sachdev Kapur as sole beneficiary and seek an interim restraint on asset dealings.
- Plaintiffs cite alleged irregularities in the document and post-death actions, including pronoun errors, omission of the mother, lack of registration, and questions over document preparation and corporate appointments.
- Priya’s counsel rejects claims of forgery or concealment, says a comprehensive asset list with financial records has been filed, disputes asserted income figures, and points to a disputed email from Rani’s account guiding corporate steps.
- The case concerns a personal estate reported at about ₹30,000 crore, with the larger contest over the will’s validity to continue after the interim decision.
