There’s a new plot twist to the battle over Sunjay Kapur’s Rs. 30,000 crore assets. A week after the first hearing about the dispute over the inheritance of the late industrialist’s assets at the Delhi High Court, Mahesh Jethmalani, senior lawyer and counsel to Karisma Kapoor’s children, has revealed that Samaira and Kiaan have not received the shares worth Rs. 1,900 crore as cited in the court.

The legal team said in a statement, “The Rs. 1,900 crore figure is based on the value of Sona Comstar shares, and the children have not received any of the shares, which are still held through the Trust. Control of these assets remains with Priya Sachdev Kapur in the Trust, and the children have no access to it.”

Mahesh Jethmalani said, “This litigation is about securing the future of Sunjay Kapur’s children and ensuring fair access to the assets held in India and abroad.” He said that the figure cited by Priya Sachdev Kapur’s lawyer in the court is based on the value of Sona Comstar shares.

To put things into perspective, Jethmalani further explained, “Assuming the estate is worth Rs. 30,000 crore and the children having allegedly received Rs. 1,900 crore from the RK Trust, still leaves over Rs. 28,000 crore to Priya Sachdev Kapur. Would she forsake a good part of that fortune? One has to understand and appreciate that this litigation is to ensure all the five Class 1 heirs, including the two children of Karisma and Sunjay Kapur receive fair access to his estate.”

As per reports from the courtroom proceedings, the children have still not been given a copy of the will, nor any clarity on their father’s assets.

Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira (20) and Kiaan (15), represented by their mother, have filed a case against Priya Sachdev Kapur, for a share in their father’s Rs. 30,000 crore assets, and have alleged suppression and forgery of will. They claimed that the will surfaced seven weeks after his demise, but no one has seen it till date. In the last hearing, Priya’s counsel claimed in the Delhi HC that the children had received Rs. 1,900 crore through the RK Family Trust.
