The high-stakes legal battle over the estate of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur has intensified in the Delhi High Court, with his children from ex-wife Karisma Kapoor challenging the authenticity of a purported will. Represented by Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, the siblings, Samaira and Kiaan, claim the document is riddled with fundamental errors, which they argue are highly uncharacteristic of their meticulous father and suggest the will may be a forgery.

The ‘Glaring Blunders’ in a Will

The core of the children’s argument rests on glaring inconsistencies within the document itself. During court proceedings, their counsel pointed out a series of errors that he argued no doting father, especially one known for his attention to detail, would make.

One key issue flagged was the repeated misspelling of their son, Kiaan’s, name throughout the document. Furthermore, the will reportedly lists the wrong residential address for their daughter, Samaira, instead citing a commercial or office address associated with Karisma Kapoor.

Jethmalani contended that these aren't minor editorial oversights but significant indicators that the will was not prepared, read, or approved by Sunjay Kapur himself. "He was very close to his children. How could he have written his daughter's address incorrectly and misspelled his son's name in multiple places in the will?" the counsel questioned, asserting that the casual nature of the document "demeans" the late businessman.

Suspicions Beyond Simple Errors

The children’s legal team has gone further than highlighting simple mistakes, suggesting the errors are part of a larger, suspicious effort to "disinherit" them from their rightful share as Class-I legal heirs. The suit, filed against the late businessman's widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, and others, highlights several circumstantial red flags:

• Missing Details: The will allegedly omits crucial details about various assets, including jewelry and cryptocurrency holdings—an odd exclusion for a financially astute individual like Sunjay Kapur.

• Digital Trail Questions: Questions have been raised about the digital footprint of the document, with claims that the file was created and modified on a device belonging to an associate of the stepmother, rather than Sunjay Kapur’s own system. There are also reported modifications to the document after the alleged date of execution.

• Timing of Disclosure: The children’s suit alleges that the will was deliberately withheld for weeks after Sunjay Kapur’s death before being presented, which the lawyer described as a "race to deliver the will immediately after the cremation."

A Fight for Rightful Inheritance

The legal challenge isn't merely about correcting spelling mistakes; it’s a high-stakes battle over an estate reportedly worth a substantial amount. Samaira and Kiaan are seeking a rightful share of their father’s personal assets, maintaining that their father shared a close bond with them and had always assured them of their financial security.

The counsel emphasized that the children are fighting to secure their future in the manner their father intended. As the #LegalBattle unfolds in court, the case has become one of the most talked-about #InheritanceDispute in recent times, reminding the public that even in the world of high society and #BollywoodNews, the simplest details—like a correctly spelled name—can become critical evidence in the pursuit of justice.
