What is the news?

Actress Karisma Kapoor and her children have received major legal relief from the Delhi High Court. The court has ordered a forensic investigation into Sanjay Kapoor’s will. Karishma’s children, Samaira and Kiyan, had challenged their father’s will, questioning its authenticity. This court order is being considered an important victory for the Kapoor family, because now scientific investigation will clarify whether the will is genuine or not.

Brother-sister’s demand accepted

Delhi High Court Justice Gagandeep Jindal has given the green signal to an independent scientific investigation into the disputed will. This decision of the court is a victory for the continuous struggle of Samaira and Kiaan Kapoor, which they were fighting since November 2025. The siblings demanded that the document be expertly examined to clarify when and how the will was made and whether it actually reflected their father’s final wishes.

Big shock to Priya Kapoor

The court clearly stated in its order that Priya Kapoor and her son have failed to file their reply within the stipulated time. The Court made a strong comment saying that it seems as if they are deliberately trying to delay the decision of this interim application. This order is being considered a big defeat for Priya, because she and her son were opposing the forensic investigation of Sanjay Kapoor’s will.

Is Priya Kapoor the sole heir of Sanjay’s entire empire?

The court noted that Priya and her son were the only ones who opposed this investigation. The executor of the will, Shraddha Suri Marwah and Sanjay Kapoor’s mother Rani Kapoor also did not raise any objection to this forensic investigation. On the other hand, Priya says that Sanjay’s will was prepared and signed in her presence. Priya clearly says that she is the only heir to Sanjay Kapoor’s entire business empire.

Court rejects Priya’s arguments in will dispute

Despite being the main beneficiary of the will, Priya strongly opposed its forensic investigation. His lawyer argued that the will is a ‘confidential document’ and the Registrar has no authority to order its scientific investigation. The court rejected Priya’s arguments. Samaira Kapoor’s lawyer said that the Registrar can give full permission for forensic investigation and the review of the will cannot be stopped in the name of ‘privacy’.

When will the next hearing be held?

Let us tell you that forensic examination of handwriting, ink and paper is a standard procedure in high-profile will disputes. Now Sanjay Kapoor’s will will also be examined in similar scientific detail. The court has now fixed the date as March 10. On this day, there will be a hearing regarding keeping the call detail records (CDR) safe and presenting the mobile phones of Sanjay and Priya. This order has become a big victory for Samaira-Kian, while it has become a challenge for Priya.
