On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court issued notice in the suit, directing Priya Sachdeva Kapur, Sunjay Kapur's widow, to file a comprehensive list of all movable and immovable assets of the deceased along with her reply.

The high court's decision came on a plea filed by Sunjay's children, Samaira and Kiaan, from his previous marriage to Karisma Kapoor.

Priya Kapur has been ordered to disclose all movable and immovable assets of Sunjay Kapur as of June 12, 2025.

The children, represented through their mother Karisma Kapoor, alleged that Priya Kapur forged Sunjay Kapur's will to claim exclusive control of his assets.

Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, for the children, argued that the will is unregistered, was never disclosed earlier, and was read "in haste" at the Taj Hotel.

They alleged that despite Sunjay Kapur's repeated assurances about their financial security, Priya Kapur restricted their access to trust documents and later produced a will dated March 21.

Meanwhile, Priya Kapur's lawyer mentioned the children received ₹1,900 crore from the Rani Kapur Trust, sparking debate over their entitlement.

Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya Kapu , also countered that the suit is not maintainable.

Sunjay Kapur's mother, Rani Kapur, also intervened through Senior Advocate Vaibhav Gaggar.

"There's something unholy going on. I am 80 years old, concerned for my grandchildren. A trust set up by me has nothing for me? Despite repeated emails, I never received a copy of the will," she submitted.

The Delhi High Court will hear the matter next on October 9, 2025.
