Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Kareena Kapoor posted a cryptic message on social media on 30 April, expressing faith in the judicial system following a significant Delhi High Court order in a property dispute involving her sister Karisma Kapoor's children. The actor shared on her Instagram Stories: "And there is light... Justice and truth will always prevail... Chardikala," accompanied by heart and folded-hands emojis.
The Delhi High Court ruling
On Thursday, 29 April, the Delhi High Court granted interim relief to Karisma's two children, Samaira and Kiaan, in their dispute with Priya Kapur over the estate of their late father Sunjay Kapur. Justice Jyoti Singh issued an interim injunction restraining Priya from accessing or dealing with Sunjay's assets during the pendency of the suit.
Court's assessment of the will
The single-judge bench noted that Sunjay's estate must be preserved in light of suspicious circumstances surrounding a purported will dated 21 March 2025, which allegedly bequeaths his entire personal estate to Priya. The court clarified that the burden of dispelling these suspicions rests with Priya, and that the will's genuineness and validity will ultimately be determined during trial.
The children's allegations
Samaira and Kiaan have challenged the March 2025 will, claiming it was forged and the result of criminal conspiracy intended to exclude them and their grandmother. During earlier hearings, their counsel alleged the purported will was tampered with when Sunjay was holidaying with his son.
Background of the case
Sunjay Kapur, the former husband of Karisma Kapoor, died in June 2025 at age 53. According to reports, he suffered a heart attack while playing polo in the United Kingdom. The interim relief granted by the court suggests judicial skepticism about the will's authenticity, marking a significant development in the protracted estate dispute.
