Supreme Court Weighs Priya Kapur Plea for Divorce Records as Sunjay Kapur Will Dispute Escalates

The will case now faces criminal‑action requests from Sunjay Kapur’s children following reports of call records contradicting Priya Kapur’s affidavit.

Overview

  • Justice AS Chandurkar considered in chambers Priya Kapur’s application for certified copies of the 2016 Karisma–Sunjay divorce records, with Karisma Kapoor’s counsel opposing access and an order awaited.
  • Alleged call‑detail records circulating online place Priya Kapur’s phone in New Delhi on March 21, 2025, contrary to her affidavit claiming she was in Gurugram during the will’s execution, and the Delhi High Court has yet to admit these records as evidence.
  • Samaira and Kiaan Kapur have asked the court to invoke Sections 338 and 340 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita and to seize phones of Priya Kapur, Sunjay Kapur and the two attesting witnesses, escalating the dispute toward possible criminal proceedings.
  • Court filings by the children cite spelling and pronoun errors, lack of a drafting lawyer, metadata indicating drafting or modification on another device, and witness statements that do not confirm execution in Gurugram as reasons to doubt the will’s authenticity.
  • The digital chain‑of‑custody is contested, with allegations that screenshots originated on Nitin Sharma’s device, were emailed to Dinesh Aggarwal, and then posted to an office WhatsApp group without any response from Sunjay; the estate at issue is estimated at about ₹30,000 crore.
