Overview
- Joint Registrar Gagandeep Jindal has issued notices to Priya Kapur and executor Shradha Suri Marwah to file written replies within three weeks to the heirs’ plea to inspect the original will submitted under seal on September 25.
- Samaira and Kiaan have filed a fresh application alleging their father’s signature on the document was forged and have asked for a forensic examination of the original, citing irregularities they say cannot be assessed from a certified copy.
- The court has listed the inspection and forensic plea for December 16, with the will and the application currently before the Joint Registrar.
- In a parallel step, the children have sought an interim injunction to bar any transfer or alteration of assets, with that request scheduled to be heard on November 20.
- The contested will reportedly directs nearly the entire estate of about Rs 30,000 crore to Priya Kapur, a position her legal team defends by calling the forgery claims bogus and baseless.
