The Delhi High Court has taken a sharp turn in the Sunjay Kapur inheritance dispute, questioning the credibility of Priya Kapur’s will. The court’s bench raised concerns about inconsistencies, drafting errors, and the absence of proof linking Sunjay to the will. Priya’s defence team, led by senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, attempted to defend the document but faced repeated questions about its validity. The court’s scrutiny has added pressure to Priya’s legal team as they struggle to address the mounting concerns.
The will, which names Priya and her children as beneficiaries, has been at the centre of the dispute. However, the court has pointed out several discrepancies, including the use of a ‘template’ based on Sunjay’s mother’s will. Nayar argued that the errors were copied from the template, but the court pressed him on why a billionaire would adopt an outdated template without correcting basic information about his life and family. The will also leaves out major assets, Sunjay’s first two children, and mentions only Priya’s children as beneficiaries. Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani argued that this selective inclusion makes the will a ‘manufactured document tailored to benefit one side.’
The controversy surrounding the will deepened when Nayar’s explanation for the misspelling of Azarius’s name raised further questions. Critics pointed out that Sunjay, being a particular person, would not misspell his son’s name. Sunjay’s sister, Mandhira Kapur, echoed these concerns publicly, stating that her brother was meticulous about formal procedures and would not rely on a mother-in-law’s testamentary document to spell his son’s name. The bench also clarified that a WhatsApp screenshot cannot be treated as proof of affirmation.
The Delhi High Court’s scrutiny of the will has significant implications for the Kapur family and the legal precedent set by the Sanjay Kalra judgment. Jethmalani argued that the issues in the Kapur will go beyond minor mistakes and directly concern the question of who authored the document. The plaintiffs have also pointed to forensic analysis suggesting that the will originated on a device not linked to Sunjay. As the matter returns to court on Friday, Priya’s legal team faces growing pressure to address not just typographical issues but the broader question of whether the will was created or approved by Sunjay Kapur at all.
The Kapur will dispute has garnered significant attention in the news, with many questioning the validity of the document. Sunjay’s sister Mandhira has accused Priya of theft and withholding transparency, alleging that Samaira and Kiaan are being robbed of their rightful inheritance. The controversy has sparked a heated debate about the authenticity of the will and the motivations behind Priya’s actions. As the courts continue to scrutinize the document, one thing is clear: the fate of the Kapur family’s inheritance hangs in the balance.
