**Headline:** Delhi High Court Directs Asset Disclosure in Sunjay Kapur Estate Dispute Involving Karisma Kapoor’s Children
The legal dispute surrounding the substantial estate of the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur has taken a significant turn. On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court instructed Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay’s widow, to provide a comprehensive list of all movable and immovable assets belonging to her late husband. This development comes as Karisma Kapoor’s children have filed a lawsuit seeking their rightful share of Sunjay Kapur’s wealth.
During the court proceedings, Priya Kapur’s legal representative disclosed that assets valued at approximately Rs 1,900 crore were transferred to Karisma Kapoor’s children just six days prior to the lawsuit’s filing. In response, the counsel for the children argued that they had been informed they were not beneficiaries under the existing will. The court has mandated that the will be submitted in a sealed cover to maintain confidentiality while it is reviewed.
The bench proposed the establishment of a “confidentiality club,” allowing both parties to appoint lawyers to examine the will. The court expressed its confusion over why a copy of the will could not be shared with the children, suggesting that a confidentiality agreement could facilitate this process without public exposure of sensitive information.
The family dispute has escalated, with Rani Kapur, another relative, accusing Priya Kapur of monopolizing the estate. Rani’s counsel stated, “My property, my estate—I have nothing today. Not once has any document been shared with me. Rs 10,000 crore worth of assets should have been mine. I am concerned about my grandchildren. Everything is being given to Priya Kapur.”
In her defense, Priya Kapur’s counsel argued, “There has been litigation after litigation, which reached the Supreme Court. I am his widow. The court is not considering the case of a person standing on the road. They have received Rs 1,900 crore.”
The Delhi High Court has taken a firm stance on the matter, allowing both parties to proceed without restrictions at this stage. The court has ordered the plaintiffs’ complaint to be formally registered as a suit, with both parties required to submit their written statements within two weeks. Additionally, Priya Kapur must provide a complete inventory of all known assets belonging to Sunjay Kapur within the same timeframe. Following this, the court will assess the list and determine whether to issue an interim injunction to prevent any further asset transfers or disposals.
The next hearing is scheduled for three weeks from now, where the court will evaluate the arguments and documents presented by both sides to decide on interim relief.
