Delhi HC grants interim relief to Karisma Kapoor’s children in Sunjay Kapur asset case
The Delhi High Court has restrained Priya Kapur from selling or transferring any assets and ordered that all properties be preserved until the case is decided. It also noted that Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapoor’s mother have raised questions over the authenticity and validity of the will. In light of this, the responsibility now lies with Priya Kapur to address these concerns.
Court puts hold on foreign bank accounts and crypto assets
Moreover, the court has not limited itself only to physical assets, but has also taken a strict stand on financial transactions. The court has put an immediate stop on the operation of Sunjay Kapur’s foreign bank accounts and cryptocurrency holdings. Along with this, the respondents have been directed to submit bank account details and account statements before the court. The court believes that given the sensitivity of the matter, financial transparency is extremely important.
Suspicious circumstances and questions over will
During the hearing, while noting the concerns raised by the petitioners and respondent number 3, the court observed that several “suspicious circumstances” appear to exist in this case. The court made it clear that it will now be the responsibility of respondent number 1 (Priya Kapur) to clear these doubts and explain her position regarding the estate. The judge said that since the petitioners have put forward strong legal arguments, the respondent must clarify all legal circumstances that are being viewed as suspicious.
