The Supreme Court today(January 16) dealt with the application of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur's wife, Priya Kapur, seeking access to certified copies of the 2016 divorce proceedings between Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor. She has sought certified copies of the divorce settlement and custody arrangements between both parties.

The application was considered by Justice AS Chandurkar in chambers. Priya Kapur's counsel, Senior Advocate Maninder Singh, stated that access to these documents would be necessary for the present estate litigation, where issues concerning financial provision, child support, and post-divorce obligations have been repeatedly raised before the Delhi High Court. It was opposed by Karishma Kapoor's counsel.

The Delhi High Court is currently hearing a suit filed by Karisma Kapoor's children, Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur, against their father's second wife, Priya Kapur and their son, as well as the deceased's mother, Rani Kapur and Shradha Suri Marwah, purported executor of a Will dated March 21, 2025. Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12, 2025.

They have sought a share in the personal assets of their late father. In the suit, Karisma Kapoor's children have said that even after their parents' divorce, their father continued to provide them with complete love and affection. 

The suit states that after Kapur's demise, his second wife, on her own, informed Karisma Kapoor and her children that there was no will left behind and that the R K Family Trust had all the assets in it.
