In an important development today in the ongoing Sunjay Kapur family property dispute, the court has finally allowed forensic inspection and handwriting analysis of the Will — a major plea raised by Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, the children of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor.

The court has Finally allowd Forensic inspection and handwriting analysis of the Will, a major plea by Samaira and Kiaan Kapur ( Karisma Kapoor’s children ).
This direction means that the Will shall now be sent for forensic testing, including expert handwriting comparison, to verify whether the signatures and contents are genuine. The forensic report is expected to play a key role in deciding the validity of the Will and the claims made by the parties.
Background of the Case
The dispute relates to a contested Will involving property and inheritance rights. Samaira and Kiaan Kapur approached the court questioning the genuineness of the Will. They argued that there were serious doubts regarding the signatures and execution of the document. According to their plea, a proper forensic examination was necessary to ensure transparency and fairness.
The opposing side had reportedly relied on the Will to claim rights over certain assets. However, the children sought scientific verification, stating that only a handwriting analysis and forensic inspection could establish the truth.
During previous hearings, arguments were made regarding whether such forensic testing was necessary at this stage of the proceedings. The court, after considering the submissions, has now allowed the request for examination.
In inheritance and succession disputes, courts often order forensic examination when the authenticity of a Will is challenged. Handwriting experts compare the disputed signature with admitted signatures to determine whether the document was genuinely signed by the testator. Such reports help courts reach a fair conclusion based on scientific evidence rather than mere allegations.
With today’s order, the case now moves into a crucial stage where expert findings will influence the final outcome. The forensic report will be submitted before the court, after which further hearings will take place.
The decision is being seen as a major relief for Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, as their key demand for forensic scrutiny has now been accepted.
The next date of hearing is expected to be scheduled after the forensic process is completed.
