Karisma Kapoor’s children challenge Sunjay Kapur’s will, claim his signature is fake, HC notifies Priya Sachdev to…
The Kapoor family is once again in the spotlight, but this time not for their glitz and glam but rather for a legal reason. After the demise of Karisma Kapoor’s ex-husband and businessman Sanjay Kapur, conflict about his inheritance and emotional tensions within the family has been doing the rounds. Now a new chapter has opened up in the long-running conflict, questioning the authenticity of his will.
Fresh Plea Filed Against the Will
Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan, have filed a new petition challenging the validity of their late father Sunjay Kapur’s will. They claim that the will presented by his third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, is fake.
After a hearing on November 17, Joint Registrar Gagandeep Jindal issued notices to Priya Kapur and Shradha Suri Marwah, who is the executor of the alleged will. They have been asked to file their replies within three weeks. The next hearing will now be on December 16.
Kids Seek Inspection of the Original Will
In their plea, Samaira and Kiaan have requested an inspection of the original copy of the will. They want to verify the authenticity of their father’s signature and ensure that the document is genuine.
Their petition states, “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 copy supplied to the plaintiffs by defendant number four (Marwah).” The alleged will had been filed in a sealed cover on September 25 along with supporting affidavits.
Priya Kapur’s Counsel Reply
Earlier, Priya Kapur’s counsel had dismissed the doubts raised by Sunjay’s children. In a previous hearing, the lawyer said, “A will cannot be called fake because of spelling errors, and they have not even disputed Sunjay Kapur’s signature.”
However, with this new petition, Karisma’s children are now questioning the authenticity of the signature itself.
