During the hearing on Monday, November 17, the Delhi High Court sought the response of Priya Kapur, the wife of late Sunjay Kapur, to a plea by his children with actor Karisma Kapoor. The kids, Samaira and Kiaan, in their plea sought inspection of the original of the alleged will of their father.
Court issues notice to Priya Kapur
Joint Registrar (Judicial) Gagandeep Jindal reportedly issued notices to Priya Kapur and Shradha Suri Marwah, the executor of the alleged will, on the plea asking them to file their replies within three weeks. The matter has now been listed for December 16, 2025. In the application, Karisma Kapoor`s children sought inspection of the original alleged will of their late father. Notably, the will was filed by Marwah in a sealed cover on September 25, along with supporting affidavits.
The court noted, “It is submitted that inspection of the original copy of the alleged will is inter alia necessary for the plaintiffs to take appropriate steps regarding the genuineness of the said document, which cannot be ascertained from the true certified copy supplied to the plaintiffs by defendant number four (Marwah).”
Karisma Kapoor`s kids` plea
The application was filed in the suit of Karisma Kapoor`s children, Samaira Kapur and her brother, challenging their late father Sunjay Kapur`s purported will of his assets. They alleged that the will is forged and fabricated, and the signatures on it are not of their father but were allegedly forged by Priya Kapur in collusion with the attesting witnesses.
On the other hand, the counsel for Priya Kapur claimed the application had been filed after they described the plaintiffs` claims as “bogus and baseless”. Priya Kapur`s counsel, in an earlier hearing, had said, “A will cannot be called fake because of spelling errors, and they have not even disputed Sunjay Kapur`s signature”.
The counsel claimed that after this argument was raised, the plaintiffs have now filed the fresh application questioning the authenticity of the signature.]
The court is also hearing arguments on an interim injunction application filed by Karisma Kapoor`s children to restrain Priya Kapur from alienating them from Sunjay Kapur`s assets. The hearing on the plea will continue on November 20.
