Sunjay Kapur property dispute: Delhi HC seeks answers from Priya Kapur as Karisma Kapoor's kids challenge ‘forged’ Will

At a hearing on November 14, senior counsel Mahesh Jethmalani, representing the plaintiffs, asked why Priya and Marwah were “surprisingly objecting” to inspection of a document they themselves are relying on to claim rights over an estate valued in tens of thousands of crores.

For legal experts observing the case, the resistance is notable. In inheritance litigation, a beneficiary opposing scrutiny of an original will is widely seen as a warning sign, particularly when the beneficiary stands to inherit the bulk of the estate. Under Indian law, a party propounding a will must dispel every possible suspicion—especially in situations where the distribution deviates sharply from the pattern expected under natural succession.

The suspicions have been building for months. According to filings made by Samaira and Kiaan, the March 2025 will disinherits them completely and hands sole authority over Kapur’s personal estate and Sona Group assets to Priya. Their pleadings point to alleged anomalies in the document: inconsistencies in addresses and gender references, contradictions with earlier records, and digital metadata that they say raises more questions than answers. Communication logs submitted to the court, they argue, also suggest that the will emerged in circumstances that were not transparent.

From Priya Kapur’s side, her counsel has dismissed these allegations as “bogus and baseless,” arguing in earlier hearings that minor typographical errors cannot render a will fake. They noted that the plaintiffs had not previously disputed Sunjay Kapur’s signature. The objection to inspection, Priya’s team claims, came only after allegations “crossed into the realm of accusation rather than inquiry.”
