The Delhi High Court on Thursday ordered that the assets of businessman Sunjay Kapur, who died in London in June last year leaving behind an estate worth around Rs 30,000 crore, be preserved amid a dispute between his third wife, Priya Sachdeva Kapur, and his children Kiaan and Samaira from his second marriage to actor Karisma Kapoor.

Kiaan and Samaira have alleged that Priya Kapur forged a will attributed to Sunjay Kapur and submitted an incomplete disclosure of his assets.

They claim that the list does not include expensive polo horses and luxury wristwatches from brands such as Audemars Piguet and Rolex.

The court said the assets “need to be preserved” and “should not be dissipated,” and granted an interim injunction restraining Priya Kapur from selling them.

It further observed that the onus is on Priya Kapur to dispel suspicions over the authenticity of the will, noting that Karisma Kapoor’s children have made out a prima facie case.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.
