Delhi Court Freezes Rs 30,000 Crore Estate Amid Dispute
30 Apr
Summary
- Delhi High Court ordered asset preservation for businessman Sunjay Kapur's estate.
- Dispute involves his third wife and children from his second marriage.
- Allegations of a forged will and incomplete asset lists were raised.
The Delhi High Court has intervened in a significant family dispute over the Rs 30,000 crore estate of businessman Sunjay Kapur, who passed away in London last year. An interim injunction has been issued, ordering the preservation of his assets. The court's decision aims to prevent the dissipation of the estate pending the resolution of a bitter conflict.
The dispute primarily involves Kapur's third wife, Priya Sachdeva Kapur, and his children from his second marriage to actor Karisma Kapoor, Kiaan and Samaira Kapoor. The children have leveled serious allegations against Priya Kapur, including the forging of a will purportedly left by their father.
Furthermore, Kiaan and Samaira allege that Priya Kapur submitted an incomplete inventory of Sunjay Kapur's considerable assets. This list allegedly omits high-value items such as expensive horses used for polo and numerous luxury wristwatches from renowned brands. The court has emphasized that the onus is on Priya Kapur to address the suspicions surrounding the will's validity.
With the children having established a prima facie case, the court's directive ensures that the substantial estate remains intact. This legal measure is crucial for safeguarding the inheritance rights of all potential beneficiaries as the contentious dispute unfolds.
