Justice Jyoti Singh issued notice on the plea seeking interim relief and posted the matter after three weeks. “Defendant No. 1 (Priya) will file a list of all assets (of the deceased), immovable and movable, known to her as on June 12, 2025. List after three weeks for consideration of ad-interim injunction at 2:30 PM,” the HC said.
Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan, have filed a suit challenging the alleged will of their late father, Sunjay Kapur, claiming it was fabricated. They argue that their father never mentioned any will during his lifetime and have sought a partition of his estate, full disclosure of assets, and a permanent injunction against Priya Kapur and other defendants. The suit specifically challenges a will dated March 21, 2025, which reportedly leaves Kapur’s entire personal estate to Priya Kapur.
The children allege that Priya’s actions since their father’s death “demonstrate without a doubt” that the will has been forged. They argue that neither the original nor a copy of the will has been shared with them. Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing the children, submitted that the circumstances surrounding the will are highly suspicious. Priya initially denied the existence of any will, only presenting the March 21 document during a family meeting on July 30.
The petition also seeks to include as defendants Priya’s minor son, Sunjay’s mother Rani Kapur, and Shradha Suri Marwah, the executor of the will. The children claim that their father had assured them of their financial security and initiated business ventures in their names, including assets held personally and through corporate entities. The suit further alleges that the children were summoned to corporate meetings of Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd (Sona Comstar) and asked to sign documents without full access to trust deeds or associated records.
Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur, had publicly objected in July to Priya’s elevation as a director in the company, alleging coercion ahead of the AGM. She also raised doubts about the will, saying she had been completely excluded. “I have got nothing in the will. I have written 15 emails asking for the documents — show me the papers. Everything is going to Priya Kapur or Karisma’s children. This is suspicious. I am a Class 1 legatee and now my son leaves me on the road,” she said.
On the court’s query, Priya’s counsel, senior advocate Rajiv Nayyar, admitted the will was not registered but argued that it made no difference. He also disclosed that just five days before the suit was filed, Sunjay’s children had received assets worth Rs 1,900 crore. “I am the last wife. There were acrimonious divorce proceedings between Sunjay and Karisma, ending in the Supreme Court. So much for the love and affection now being shown. At the age of 50, a man dies. I am a widow and have a six-year-old child,” Nayyar said. “Where were you all this while? After getting Rs 1,900 crore worth of assets, you suddenly claim you haven’t got anything.”
The HC examined the will and returned it to Priya’s lawyers but suggested that it could be shared with the plaintiffs, Samaira and Kiaan, provided they sign a non-disclosure agreement. The legal battle over Sunjay Kapur’s estate is ongoing, with the next hearing scheduled in three weeks. The outcome of this case will have significant implications for the distribution of one of India’s most valuable personal estates.
