Karisma Kapoor&#8217;s children are questioning the validity of their father&#8217;s will. Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani highlighted inconsistencies, including the use of feminine pronouns for Sunjay Kapur. The court also heard arguments about the will&#8217;s origin and alleged control over the estate. The ongoing inheritance dispute over late Sunjay Kapur\u2019s estate has taken a dramatic turn in the <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/delhi-high-court\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Delhi High Court<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/karisma-kapoor\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Karisma Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s children, Samaira and Kiaan, are challenging the authenticity of their father\u2019s alleged will, raising serious questions about its language, origins, and intent. Jethmalani questions the will\u2019s credibilityBefore Justice Jyoti Singh, Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani argued that the purported will could not have been signed by Sunjay Kapur, pointing out that \u201cin certain crucial places in the purported Will of their late father, the feminine form of testator is used.\u201d He added, \u201cGiven the wisdom of the deceased, it was not possible that the Will was signed by their father.\u201dThe court was told that the digitally executed will refers to Sunjay Kapur as \u201cshe\u201d and \u201cher\u201d multiple times, which Jethmalani called \u201cnot just implausible but deeply incriminating.\u201d He added, \u201cWhen you find \u2018she\u2019 and \u2018her\u2019 four times in a will supposedly written by Sunjay Kapur \u2014 a man known for precision and pride in his image \u2014 it\u2019s impossible to believe he drafted it.\u201dSpecific clause highlights anomaliesHghlighting a specific clause, Jethmalani read from the document: \u201cSigned and declared by Sunjay Kapur the testatrix above named as and for her last will.\u201d He commented, \u201cThe female form of testator is used&#8230; testator is now a she! This is an absurdity&#8230; It shows the audacity which people have to present something like this in court\u2026 there is no explanation for this clause, there can&#8217;t be. Unless Sunjay was of unsound mind incapable of reading English, could never have signed this&#8230; In short, Sunjay Kapur has signed this Will as a woman. It is replete with feminine pronoun\u2026 It says \u2018her last will\u2019, \u2018her presence\u2019&#8230;\u201d Calling the will\u2019s language \u201ca document that would have ruined his reputation,\u201d Jethmalani argued that it destroys its own credibility.Priya Kapur called \u2018an acute gambler\u2019In one of the hearing\u2019s most intense moments, Jethmalani called Priya Kapur \u201can acute gambler,\u201d implying she had risked her husband\u2019s legacy for control. \u201cGood luck to her,\u201d he added, \u201cbut not at the cost of two children being robbed of their inheritance.\u201dWhile Priya Kapur\u2019s lawyer dismissed the petition as driven by \u201cgreedy motives\u201d of Karisma Kapoor\u2019s children, Jethmalani retorted, \u201cEverything they receive comes from their grandmother and father. You call them greedy? Your greed, Madam, is far greater \u2014 and it\u2019s written into every line of this will.\u201dQuestions about the will\u2019s originJethmalani further pointed out that the defendants\u2019 pleadings do not reveal who actually prepared the will. \u201cWhat we have is Sunjay Kapur \u2014 a meticulous person \u2014 has only an alleged digital footprint; that also in the entire conspectus he is a digital ghost. He does not appear physically. There is no handwriting, no evidence of photographs. There is only some oral evidence which is circumspect. The witnesses have not filed a detailed affidavit yet. Nobody knows what was the time and exact location,\u201d he said. He added that neither Defendant 1, Priya Kapur, nor the two witnesses to the will had stated who drafted it.Furthermore, the filings indicate that the document makes no mention of Sunjay Kapur\u2019s mother, Rani Kapur \u2014 a glaring omission, Jethmalani said, for someone who had always cared for her. \u201cHer exclusion defies logic and decency,\u201d he told the court. \u201cIt shows this document was not written by a son, but by someone who wanted his mother erased from the estate.\u201dAlleged takeover of the estateJethmalani argued that Priya Kapur now controls a large part of the estate, calling it \u201ca takeover under the guise of widowhood.\u201d He highlighted errors in the will, like misspelt names, wrong addresses, and an informal tone, saying these were not Sunjay\u2019s words. He added that the will had issues at every stage \u2014 preparation, circulation, and delivery \u2014 with missing signatures and unclear origins. Jethmalani also questioned why it was never registered, noting that a man like Sunjay would have made any inheritance intentions clear and legal.The Delhi High Court is set to resume on October 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New claims emerged in the Delhi High Court regarding the inheritance of Sunjay Kapur.
