A long-running dispute over the multimillion-dollar estate of industrialist Sunjay Kapur has reached its conclusion in the Delhi High Court. The contentious civil suit, which has pitted Sunjay's widow Priya Sachdev Kapur against his children from his previous marriage with actress Karisma Kapoor, has been heard by the court. The children, Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur, claim that Priya forged Sunjay's will and seek an interim injunction to prevent her from handling the estate. Priya's lawyer, Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar, has denied allegations that Sunjay's assets were siphoned abroad or concealed. He also disputed claims that Sunjay earned an annual income of ₹60 crore, stating that the allegations were unfounded. The dispute began when Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, alleged that Priya had reported a significantly lower bank balance for Sunjay, despite his reported salary of ₹60 crore. The court has taken on record the written submissions from both sides and has reserved its judgment on the interim injunction plea. Sunjay Kapur, the chairman of auto parts manufacturer Sona Comstar, died in June while playing a polo match in London. He was married to Karisma Kapoor from 2003 to 2016 and had two children with her. He married Priya in 2017. The Delhi High Court has made it clear that no further filings will be entertained before the order is pronounced on this case, bringing the contentious proceedings to a close for now.
