The Delhi High Court has granted permission for a forensic inspection of the will of Sanjay Kapur, a key legal development in the ongoing family dispute over the late actor’s estate. The inspection aims to examine the authenticity and contents of the will as part of efforts to resolve disagreements among family members regarding inheritance and property distribution.
The court also clarified that actresses Karisma Kapoor and Rani Kapur are at liberty to continue with legal proceedings related to the estate case even in the absence of Priya Kapur, another family member involved in the matter. This decision allows the sisters to pursue their legal rights while the forensic audit takes place.
The move for forensic scrutiny reflects the complexities of high-profile inheritance cases where questions about document validity and intent often arise. By allowing expert examination, the court seeks to ensure transparency and fairness in evaluating the contested will. Legal experts say such inspections typically involve handwriting analysis, verification of signatures and other forensic techniques to establish authenticity.
The Kapoor family, one of Bollywood’s most recognised lineages, has been in the spotlight over the dispute, drawing media and public attention. With the court paving the way for further legal steps, both sides are expected to present evidence and arguments in upcoming hearings as the matter progresses through the judicial process.
