Sunjay Kapur’s assets frozen by Delhi High Court amid inheritance battle

The Delhi High Court has ordered a status quo on the ₹30,000 crore estate of late billionaire Sunjay Kapur, freezing his foreign bank accounts and cryptocurrency. The interim injunction comes amid an ongoing inheritance battle involving his wife, his mother, and his children from a former marriage. The children filed a petition challenging the authenticity of the will presented by his wife, alleging it is fake and deprives them of their rightful share. They also accused her of withholding crucial documents. The court restrained the creation of any third-party rights over the assets, ensuring they are preserved while the suit remains pending. Acknowledging the suspicious circumstances raised by the petitioners, the High Court stated that the onus is now on the wife to remove these doubts.
