The Delhi High Court has urged the feuding family of the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur to consider mediation to resolve their ongoing property dispute, cautioning them against "washing dirty linen in court". Justice Mini Pushkarna, presiding over the case, expressed concern that the family's "blessing of wealth" was turning into a "curse" due to the infighting.

The dispute centers around the estate of Sunjay Kapur, who passed away in June of last year after collapsing at a polo match in England. At the heart of the legal battle is a will produced by his third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, which purportedly bequeaths his entire personal estate to her. This will has been challenged by Kapur's ex-wife, actress Karisma Kapoor, on behalf of their two children, who allege the will is forged. Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, has also joined the challenge, questioning the authenticity of the will and Priya Kapur's control over the estate and filing a suit to declare the RK Family Trust as illegal.

Rani Kapur's suit alleges that the RK Family Trust, constituted in October 2017, is based on "forged, fabricated and fraudulent" documents and that she was wrongly deprived of her rights, assets, and legacy. She claims to be the sole beneficiary of her late husband Surinder Kapur's entire estate. Surinder Kapur, who died in 2015, was the founder of the Sona Group. Rani Kapur is seeking to permanently restrain Priya Kapur and others, including grandchildren, from utilizing the RK Family Trust in any manner. The suit also seeks to prevent the disbursal of dividends from a company to Priya Kapur and to preserve the estate. Specifically, she is attempting to block an interim dividend of approximately ₹28 crore from being passed on to Priya Kapur.

During the hearing, Justice Pushkarna acknowledged the grief and pain experienced by all parties involved. The court implored the family to respect their relationships and seek a peaceful resolution, emphasizing that the wealth should be enjoyed by all in a good manner and not become a source of bitterness. "All of you should try to respect relations... The way forward is resolution in a peaceful manner. Efforts need to be from both sides," Justice Pushkarna stated. The court also highlighted that Rani Kapur, at 80 years old, has already suffered the immense loss of her son.

The High Court issued a notice to Priya Kapur regarding Rani Kapur's application to stay the disbursal of dividends and preserve the estate. It also sought Rani Kapur's response to Priya Kapur's application seeking rejection of her mother-in-law's suit. The court has scheduled the next hearing for March 23rd. The court has asked the involved parties to consider settling the matter through mediation, keeping in mind the interests of all the parties involved.
