The Delhi High Court was hearing Priya Kapur 's plea over the inheritance of Sunjay Kapoor's assets, requesting permission to submit asset details in a sealed cover. This plea is part of a lawsuit filed by Karisma Kapoor's children, Samair and Kiaan, for a share of their father's assets.

Requesting confidentiality over revealing the list of Sunjay Kapur's assets, Priya's lawyer Rajiv Nayar was quoted by LiveLaw as saying that“parties must respect some sort of understanding about confidentiality. I leave it to the court to devise it. But no one should discuss the pending case”.

Responding to Nayar's statement, Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Karisma Kapoor 's children, was quoted by the legal news agency as saying,“I don't understand what the ground for confidentiality is. I don't want to get adversarial, but statements have been made by the other side about the subject matter of my children's stake in a trust”.
