Priya Sachdev's defence struggles as Delhi | Indian Movie News
The dispute over late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s inheritance took a sharper flip in the Delhi High Court on Thursday, as the bench questioned the credibility of the Will introduced by his widow Priya Kapur. Senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya, tried to defend the doc, but the court raised repeated considerations about inconsistencies, drafting errors and the absence of proof linking Sunjay to the Will.
‘Template’ Explanation Draws More Doubts
Nayar argued that errors in the Will — such as referring to Sunjay as “testatrix,” misspelled names, and incorrect pronouns — have been copied from a “template” based on Sunjay’s mom Rani Kapur’s Will. However, the bench pressed him on why a billionaire with huge belongings would undertake an previous template without correcting basic info about his own life and household.
The rationalization also highlighted what the Will leaves out:
no stock of Sunjay’s major belongings
no point out of his first two kids, Samaira and Kiaan
only Priya and her kids, Safira and Azarius, named as beneficiaries
Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani argued that this selective inclusion makes the Will “a manufactured document tailored to benefit one side.”
Misspelled Son’s Name Raises Red Flags
Nayar’s justification for the misspelling of Azarius (“Azarias”) — that it got here from Rani’s Will — raised additional questions. Critics requested why dad and mom would rely on a mother-in-law’s testamentary doc to spell their own baby’s identify.
Sunjay’s sister Mandhira Kapur echoed these considerations publicly, saying, “My brother was a particular human being. He can’t misspell his son’s name. These are giveaways.”
Procedural Gaps: Notarisation Missing
Another key level raised was the dearth of notarisation.
Rani Kapur’s Will — the alleged template — was notarised, but the Will produced for Sunjay was neither notarised nor registered, despite involving a far bigger property.
Nayar claimed that Nitin Sharma drafted the Will, but his identify seems in neither Priya’s Written Statement nor Nitin’s own affidavit, including to doubts about authenticity.
No Proof of Sunjay’s Involvement
The court famous that the defence has not produced a single doc displaying Sunjay reviewed or accredited the Will. There is no e-mail, message, instruction, or annotation linking Sunjay to the drafting course of.
While Sunjay’s identify seems in the notary register for past paperwork — indicating he understood formal procedures — no such steps have been taken for this Will. The bench also clarified that a WhatsApp screenshot can’t be handled as proof of affirmation.
Legal Precedent Cited by Defence Under Supreme Court Review
The defence invoked the Sanjay Kalra judgment, but the court noticed that the case was determined after a full trial — not like the interim stage right here — and is at the moment under review by the Supreme Court.
Jethmalani argued that the problems in the Kapur Will go effectively past minor errors and straight concern the query of who truly authored the doc.
Forensic Concerns Add Pressure
The plaintiffs have pointed to forensic analysis suggesting the Will originated on a gadget not linked to Sunjay. Nayar’s rationalization that the doc was saved by worker Nitin Sharma doesn’t tackle the absence of any digital path connecting Sunjay to the Will.
With the matter returning to court on Friday, Priya Kapur’s legal crew faces growing strain to tackle not just typographical points but the broader query of whether or not the Will was created — or accredited — by Sunjay Kapur at all.
