A new development has emerged in the ongoing legal battle over the estate of the late businessman Sanjay Kapoor. Karisma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan, have filed a fresh petition against Priya Sachdev, seeking a court order to prevent her from transferring or altering any of Sanjay Kapoor’s properties until the case reaches its final conclusion.

The matter is currently under the supervision of Delhi High Court’s Joint Registrar Gagandeep Jindal, who is handling the applications related to the property and the request for forensic examination. The court is scheduled to hear the new petition on November 20, where more clarity is expected.

Challenges to the Submitted Will

According to case records, Samaira and Kiaan recently raised concerns about the original will submitted by Priya in October. On November 11, they sought permission to conduct a forensic examination of the document, alleging multiple discrepancies and inconsistencies. However, Priya opposed their request, denying any irregularities in the will's submission.

The matter was heard once again on November 17. Following the hearing, the Joint Registrar directed Priya Sachdev and Shraddha Suri Marwah to file their written objections within three weeks. The children’s legal team has also been granted permission to submit additional supporting documents during this period. The next round of hearing is scheduled for December 16.

Background of the Family Dispute

Karisma Kapoor married Sanjay Kapoor in 2003. Their daughter Samaira was born in 2005, followed by their son Kiaan in 2011. The couple divorced in 2016 after a tumultuous relationship. Sanjay Kapoor later married Priya Sachdev, his third wife.

Sanjay passed away in June 2025, after which Samaira and Kiaan filed a legal case against their stepmother, accusing her of tampering with the will to gain control over his assets. The dispute has since turned into a multifaceted legal confrontation involving estate rights, inheritance claims, and the authenticity of key documents.

What Happens Next?

With the new petition filed by Samaira and Kiaan, the case has taken yet another turn. Their request aims to ensure that no property belonging to their late father is sold, transferred, or modified while the legal proceedings are ongoing. The forthcoming hearings are expected to determine the next steps in this high-profile inheritance battle.

The matter continues to draw public interest due to the prominent personalities involved and the sensitive nature of the dispute. As the court delves deeper into the authenticity of the will and the claims made by both parties, more details are expected to unfold in the upcoming hearings.

This latest move by Karisma Kapoor’s children marks a significant moment in the ongoing estate dispute and underscores the complexity of the case as it approaches its next hearing.
