Karisma Kapoor's Kids Challenge Father's Forged Will
In a sensational legal drama, Karisma Kapoor's children, Samaira and Kiaan Raj, have accused their late father Sunjay Kapur's will of being forged. The will is the focal point of an inheritance battle over assets valued at an astonishing Rs 30,000 crore. Concerned about the document's authenticity, the siblings have petitioned the Delhi High Court for permission to inspect the original will, which they believe may hold crucial evidence of forgery.
The Delhi High Court has responded to their claims by issuing notices to Priya Kapur, Sunjay's wife, and Shradha Suri Marwah, the executor of the will. The court seeks their responses regarding the allegations of forgery. Samaira and Kiaan assert that the signatures on the will do not belong to their father, claiming they were forged by Priya with the assistance of witnesses. This allegation has intensified the already high-stakes legal battle.
In their latest application, the children argue that inspecting the original will is essential to determine its genuineness, which cannot be established from the certified copy they received. Priya Kapur’s legal representatives have dismissed the children’s claims as baseless, arguing that minor spelling errors do not invalidate a will and asserting that the signature has not been disputed.
The Delhi High Court decided to entertain the children's request and requested Priya’s response, setting the stage for further developments in this contentious case. The next hearing is scheduled for December 16, where both sides will present their arguments regarding the will's authenticity.
In addition to the will dispute, there is an ongoing interim injunction application filed by Karisma Kapoor's children. They aim to prevent Priya from distributing their father's assets during the legal proceedings. This application is set for a hearing on November 20. As the court monitors the situation, it has called for restraint, emphasizing that the proceedings should remain dignified and not turn melodramatic.
The tension surrounding this inheritance battle is palpable, especially as claims about unpaid tuition fees for Samaira, who studies in the U.S., have surfaced. However, Priya's counsel refuted these claims, stating that the fees had been paid. The outcome of this legal struggle remains uncertain, but it highlights the complexities often involved in high-profile family disputes.
