Karishma Kapoor's Family Battle On Sona Blw Inheritance

-The Delhi High Court is witnessing a public three-way inheritance battle over businessman Sunjay Kapur's assets. The inheritance battle involves three sides: first, his widow Priya Kapur; second, his mother Rani Kapur; and third, the children of his ex-wife Karishma Kapoor.

-In the latest development, the Delhi HC, on Wednesday, directed Priya Kapur to disclose details of all the assets owned by Sunjay Kapur.

-Karishma Kapoor's children, a son and daughter, alleged that their step mother Priya Kapur, had forged their father's will, and she is trying to gain total control of the assets, reported Bar and Bench earlier.

-Another allegation against Priya Kapur is made by her mother-in-law Rani Kapur. According to a CNBC TV-18 report, Rani Kapur has flagged a suspicious transaction involving the sale of Sona Comstar assets worth Rs 500 crore to Singapore-based entities.

-Karishma Kapoor's kids have alleged discrepancies around the information related to Sunjay Kapur's will. "What has triggered this suit is that all along the plaintiffs were told that there was no will. Some of the property is held by a trust. After some time, it was decided that a meeting was to be organised at Taj Mansingh in Delhi for discussing the trust. In a conversation regarding the proposed meeting, the ex-wife [Karisma Kapoor] was informed that present at the meetng would be executor of the will. On inquiry, the ex-wife was told that there was no will," noted Mahesh Jethmalani, advocate representing the Kapur children in court.

-On demanding access to all the documents related to Sunjay Kapur's will, Priya Kapur refused to do so, claimed Jethmalani on court, reported Bar and Bench.

-"The will is not registered. The father (Sunjay Kapur) was meticulous in securing the properties of the children. It is a fact that this will is not registered. So, we have a document that suddenly comes up and the most surprising is that the children are totally left out," Bar and Bench quoted Jethmalani.

-Karishma Kapoor has sought one-fifth of Sunjay Kapur's asset for each of her child. The former actress claims that Kapur's will was "forged" and "fabricated".

-Kapur's widow, Priya Kapur, claimed that Kraishma and Sunjay's divorce was acrimonious, as per CNBC TV 18 report. She also claimed that Kapoor's children received assets worth Rs 1,900 crore from the family trust days before filing a case in the Delhi HC.

-The next hearing of the case will be held on October 9. Sona BLW Forgings shares were trading 1.27% higher at Rs 450.95 per share on BSE at 2 pm on Wednesday.
