The bitter inheritance war within the Kapoor family has taken another turn, with the Delhi High Court postponing the hearing on Rani Kapoor’s explosive petition to January 28. The late Sanjay Kapoor’s mother is locked in battle against her daughter-in-law Priya and Karisma Kapoor’s offspring over a vast estate managed through a contested family trust.
Rani’s legal salvo accuses the defendants of forming the trust illicitly to grab hold of properties worth billions, bypassing her entirely. She learned of this supposed swindle only after her son’s death on June 12, 2025, when vital decisions had already stripped her of influence.
Key allegations include unauthorized transfers of family holdings into the trust and Priya’s rapid ascent to leadership roles in Sona Group firms right after Sanjay’s demise. No consultations, no updates—just a systematic exclusion from company affairs and communications.
Seeking swift justice, Rani urges the court to void the trust, return her assets, and freeze all dealings pending resolution. This case highlights the fragility of family trusts in India, often exploited amid grief and power struggles.
With roots in one of India’s prominent business clans, the dispute could set precedents for estate planning and fiduciary duties. Stakeholders await the next court date, as tensions simmer in this saga of legacy and loss.
