Delhi HC Restrains Priya Kapur from Dissipating Sunjay Kapur’s Assets

The Delhi High Court has granted interim relief to Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan Raj Kapoor, by restraining their stepmother Priya Kapur from dissipating or dealing with the assets of their late father, industrialist Sunjay Kapur.

The court ordered that Sunjay Kapur’s estate, reportedly valued at around Rs.30,000 crore, be preserved during the ongoing civil suit. The children have challenged the authenticity of a will dated March 21, 2025, which they allege is forged and primarily favors Priya Kapur.

Sunjay Kapur, founder and chairman of Sona Comstar, passed away on June 12, 2025, after suffering a heart attack while playing polo in London. His children from his marriage to Karisma Kapoor have sought their rightful share as Class I heirs and an interim injunction against any alienation of the estate.

This order follows earlier court directions for asset disclosure by Priya Kapur. Hearings on the interim application concluded in December 2025, with proceedings continuing amid allegations of forgery, typographical errors in the will, and concerns over potential asset dissipation, including overseas holdings.

Priya Kapur maintains that the will is genuine and denies claims of forgery or concealment. The dispute also involves broader family dynamics, including interventions by Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur.

The court’s interim measure aims to maintain the status quo and protect the interests of the heirs until the suit is fully resolved.

The high-profile family battle has highlighted complex issues of succession and asset preservation among India’s industrial elite. Karisma Kapoor has not claimed any personal share, focusing instead on her children’s well-being.
