New Delhi: Monday saw the Supreme Court of India give a tough push towards peace in the fiercely contested case concerning the inheritance of the deceased businessman Sanjay Kapur’s property. As the court was entertaining an application by Rani Kapur, the 80-year-old mother of the deceased, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Vijay Bishnoi were skeptical about the need for dragging out this litigation at such an advanced age.
The bench was hearing a petition filed against the order passed by the Delhi High Court about maintaining the family property, which is estimated to be valued between ₹30,000 crore and ₹45,000 crore. A Waste of Time?
While hearing the matter, the bench showed concerns over the time and emotional stress that both parties had undergone. Turning to the counsel, the court said,“Why are you all fighting? You are 80 years old. At this age, your client cannot fight. Try mediation from point A to point Z. Otherwise, it is just a waste of time.”
The judges were firm on the idea that prolonged trials within the family setting do not benefit anyone. They insisted that reaching a peaceful settlement through mediation would be “beneficial to all concerned.”
This dispute revolves around the legacy of the Sona Group. Ms. Rani Kapur claims that a family trust was established under fraudulent circumstances to deprive her of her properties after she suffered a stroke in 2017. The tension escalated following the sudden death of her son, Sunjay Kapur, in June 2025. There are a few notable personalities involved in the legal dispute. Sunjay’s wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, and her children from her earlier relationship with Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor are part of the conflict. The court will hear their case on a priority basis next week.
