The Supreme Court has sought actor Karisma Kapoor’s response on a plea filed by Priya Kapur seeking access to divorce-related records between Karisma and her late husband Sunjay Kapur. The documents have been sought for use in an ongoing succession dispute over Sunjay Kapur’s estate pending before the Delhi High Court.
The Delhi High Court has granted time till December 24 to Karisma Kapoor and Rani Kapur to file written submissions in the Sunjay Kapur estate dispute. The case will be taken up further after final arguments are placed on record.
A succession dispute before the Delhi High Court took a dramatic turn after Priya Sachdev Kapur opposed the forensic verification of the Will she relies on. The court also saw objections to a co-defendant’s attempt to amend statements after inconsistencies were exposed.
Rani Kapur told the Delhi High Court that Priya Sachdev Kapur concealed her late son Sunjay Kapur’s assets and may have moved money abroad. The allegations add new pressure in the escalating battle over the industrialist’s estate.
Priya Sachdev Kapur told the Delhi High Court that leaving assets to a spouse is a normal family practice and not suspicious. Her counsel dismissed all objections, asserting the will is genuine and legally valid.
