The succession saga surrounding Sanjay Kapoor’s death continues to unravel in courtrooms. Rani Kapoor, mother of the late auto parts tycoon, saw her urgent petition against a purportedly bogus family trust postponed by the Delhi High Court to January 29. The trust, she alleges, was a sly maneuver by Priya Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor’s kids to monopolize Sona Comstar holdings and other assets.
Presiding Justice Vikas Mahajan stepped aside, ensuring a fresh bench reviews the explosive claims on Thursday. A prior hearing on January 23 met the same fate. Rani’s filings paint a picture of deceit: during her grief-stricken state post-Sanjay’s passing, opportunists exploited her fragility to secure signatures on fraudulent papers.
She demands the trust’s immediate dismantling. Meanwhile, counter-allegations fly thick. Karisma’s offspring charge Priya with peddling a counterfeit will to sideline them from inheritance rights. Priya counters by seeking Supreme Court intervention for Sanjay-Karisma divorce records, with notices served and a tight deadline for replies.
Tensions escalated further as Priya launched a defamation case against Sanjay’s sister. This multi-front battle over a multi-crore empire underscores deep family rifts, with stakeholders locked in legal brinkmanship. As proceedings drag on, Sona Comstar’s stakeholders watch warily, and the Kapoor clan remains fractured.
