The inheritance dispute surrounding late businessman Sunjay Kapur's estate has taken another turn. Priya Kapur, who filed a criminal defamation complaint against Mandhira Kapur Smith and another individual, has been granted time to reply to an application moved by Mandhira seeking the production of certain documents.
According to the latest update, Additional Chief Judicial (ACJM) Siddhant Sihag granted time to Priya Kapur's counsel to file a reply, if any, he wishes to file. Mandhira Kapur appeared through video conferencing during the hearing.
Priya Kapur's counsel, Senior Advocate Maninder Singh, sought time to file a reply, stating that a copy of the application had been received only a day earlier. Earlier, the counsel for Priya Kapur had opposed the application seeking direction for the production of documents, arguing that they are not related to the defamation complaint and are in the public domain.
The defamation suit states that the material circulating in the public domain advances misleading narratives and allegations intended to malign and harass Priya Kapur through public discourse rather than through lawful remedies.
The dispute revolves around Sunjay's estate, with Priya presenting a document to the Delhi High Court claiming it was his will, which was challenged by his children. The actual worth of Sunjay's assets is reportedly ₹30,000 crore, but Karisma's kids claim they weren't aware of the actual worth.
