New Delhi: In a recent hearing of the famous battle involving late businessman Sanjay Kapur’s Rs. 30000 crore estate dispute, the advocate representing his former wife and actor Karisma Kapoor’s children, told the Delhi High Court on Friday that the fees of one of the children, Samaira, has not been paid for two months.
After Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, appearing for Karisma Kapoor’s children, alleged that the actress’s daughter is studying in a US university and her fees have not been paid for two months, Justice Jyoti Singh, who was sitting as the judge to the bench hearing the case remarked to avoid making the hearings of the case melodramatic.
Jethmalani stated that as part of the matrimonial decree, Sunjay Kapur was required to cover the children’s educational expenses. In the main suit, the siblings have accused stepmother Priya Kapur (the third wife of Sunjay Kapur) of forging Sunjay Kapur’s will and trying to gain total control of the property.
For the unversed, Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur were married for 13 years, from 2003 and 2016, before getting divorced. They have a son, Kiaan and a daughter, Samaira together. Sunjay later married Priya.
Senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, appearing for Priya Kapur, called all these claims as fabricated and baseless. Her advocate further informed that she has been consistently looking after the children’s needs and that the fees have already been paid. He claimed that the purpose of raising the issue in the court was to get it reported in the media.
A Bench of Justice Jyoti Singh said that such issues should not come to the court, asking senior advocate Shyel Trehan, who is representing Priya Kapur, to ensure such issues are taken care of. “I don’t want to spend more than 30 seconds on this. This question should not come to my court again. I don’t want this hearing to be melodramatic. I put this onus on you (Shyel Trehan),” the Court said.
