Overview
- Priya Kapur’s lawyer showed receipts in court indicating ₹95 lakh per semester has been paid for Samaira’s university, saying the next instalment is due in December.
- The defence mapped a digital chain of custody for the will with drafts, metadata, emails and affidavits, and invited the bench to verify files on the drafter’s laptop.
- Priya’s counsel argued it is family practice for husbands to bequeath assets to wives and said spelling and pronoun errors stemmed from using Rani Kapur’s will as a template.
- Represented by Akhil Sibal, Priya’s minor son called the challenge “speculation and guesswork,” noting the executor presented the will on July 30 and that plaintiffs first sought a copy weeks later after declining a confidentiality agreement.
- The High Court is hearing an interim bid to prevent any third‑party rights over the assets, with notices already issued to Priya Kapur and the executor and further arguments scheduled next week.
