Sunjay Kapur’s will had spelling errors as it was drawn up on template used by mother, Priya Kapur tells HC

Nayar took the court through Rani Kapur’s will to substantiate the similar spelling errors and erroneous pronouns, which had been earlier flagged in the court by Sunjay’s children.

However, the fresh submission comes only orally, and has not been included in the written submissions made by Priya earlier.

Sunjay’s children with actor Karisma Kapoor — Samaira and Kiaan — are locked in an inheritance battle, primarily with his third wife Priya Kapur, over the personal assets of the former Sona Comstar chairman, claiming their share as Class-1 or immediate heirs. Sunjay Kapur died in June due to cardiac arrest during a polo match in the United Kingdom.

Samaira and Kiaan have raised suspicions over the genuineness of the will, purportedly propounded by Sunjay, which left the personal assets primarily to Priya and her children.

One of the aspect flagged by Karisma’s children were that the purported will left by Sunjay misspelt the name of his son with Priya, Azarias; referred to himself as ‘her’ and ‘testatrix’, and that Karisma’s children or Karisma were never made aware of such a will which only “surfaced suddenly” under “mysterious” and “suspicious” circumstances.

Emphasising that it is not a case of “disinheriting” Karisma’s children, Nayar further emphasised, “Our case is, both (Samaira and Kiaan) received beneficial interest to the tune of Rs 2,000 crore under the trust (RK Trust).”

The court will hear the matter further on Friday.
