Overview

• Appearing before Justice Jyoti Singh, counsel for Samaira and Kiaan alleged the will is forged, citing misspellings of the son’s name and an incorrect address for the daughter.
• The plaintiffs flagged electronic irregularities, saying a Word file tied to the will was first created on February 10 on a third party’s device and showed modifications on March 17 and March 24 despite an execution date of March 21.
• They questioned the chain of custody, asserting the named executor was never told of her appointment and received the original from Priya Kapur shortly after the cremation.
• Counsel argued the document is unusually informal for the estate, lacks detailed asset schedules, and allegedly shifts a large share to Priya Kapur and her son, while Priya’s side informed the court that Rs 1,900 crore has been received from the family trust.
• The court previously directed a sealed disclosure of assets; inspection of originals and further evidentiary steps are expected as hearings resume on Tuesday.
