As per news agency ANI, the Delhi High Court has directed the filing of account statements and restrained the operation of foreign bank accounts and cryptocurrency holdings. It further ruled that the question of preservation of the estate must be answered in the affirmative, noting that the trial may take time and, in the meantime, the assets must be protected. The court added that all legitimate concerns raised by the petitioners must be addressed by defendant 1 (Priya Kapur).

The injunction plea was moved by his children from his previous marriage with Karisma, who has challenged the authenticity of the will. Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing the children, pointed to alleged inconsistencies in the will, including its language, lack of registration, and questions over its preparation, arguing that heightened scrutiny was required as Priya Kapur is both the propounder and sole beneficiary.

Sunjay Kapur's estate controversy

Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur married in 2003 in a high-profile ceremony that brought together two powerful families. Their relationship, however, was turbulent and eventually ended in a bitter divorce in 2016 after a prolonged legal battle involving financial disputes and custody issues.

Sunjay later married Priya Sachdev, while Karisma focused on her life in Mumbai. Following Sunjay’s sudden death on 12 June, his estate, estimated to be worth 30,000 crore, became the centre of a fierce family battle. In August last year, Priya presented a document to the Delhi High Court claiming it was his will. This was challenged by Samaira, Kiaan, and Rani. In August, Karisma sued Priya on her children's behalf, claiming Priya had fabricated Sunjay's will, keeping their two children out of their inheritance.

Sunjay died on June 12 during a polo match in England. It was later claimed that he died of a heart attack, apparently after swallowing a bee during a polo match in England.
