The ongoing inheritance drama surrounding late industrialist Sanjay Kapoor has become even more spicy. On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court made a comment that could dramatically change the course of the long-running legal battle over Kapoor’s vast wealth — and that doesn’t bode well for privacy.
War of Will heats up: Delhi High Court’s nod clears way for forensic investigation in Sanjay Kapoor’s property fight
Since November, Sanjay’s children with Karisma Kapoor – Samaira and Kiaan Kapoor – have been demanding a forensic investigation of Sanjay’s will involving his business empire worth over Rs 30,000 crore, pointing to alleged discrepancies in the document.
On Tuesday, Delhi HC Registrar (Judicial) Gagan Deep Jindal, citing the high court’s September 10 order, clarified that “any party can inspect any document”. The observation effectively signals that probate – and possibly forensic testing – of Sanjay Kapoor’s disputed will, which has so far been staunchly opposed by his third wife Priya Kapoor, may soon be inevitable.
It was pointed out that as per paragraph 8 of the order dated September 10, 2025, inspection should be allowed to any party.
Nevertheless, Priya Kapoor and Azarias’ lawyers sought to argue the maintainability of Samaira and Kiyan’s application. The plaintiffs’ lawyers countered, saying Justice Jyoti Singh had already made it clear in her September 10 order that inspection was permissible. He also cited another joint registrar’s order allowing inspection in a separate case – a position with which the registrar agreed.
The defense then sought a brief adjournment and the Joint Registrar fixed February 5 for further arguments and disposal of the application.
Willpower is at the center of the storm. Its authenticity, Sanjay Kapoor’s signature and the circumstances under which it was made have all been questioned. The document names Priya Kapoor as the sole beneficiary, while excluding Kapoor’s two children and their mother, Rani Kapoor – a detail that has sparked intense scrutiny.
Shraddha Suri Marwah, named as the executor in the will, has added another layer of intrigue. She was unaware of his appointment as executor and had received the will by email from Dinesh Agarwal, an executive of the Aureus Group.
Noting these unresolved questions, the Registrar granted Marwah “final 10 days” to file his rejoinder, indicating that his role will now face close judicial scrutiny. Now all eyes are on February 5, when the courtroom drama will resume.
