The advocate representing actor Karisma Kapoor’s children in the ongoing estate battle involving their late father Sunjay Kapur, told the Delhi High Court on Friday that the fees of one of the children, Samaira, has not been paid for two months.
Justice Jyoti Singh remarked to avoid making the hearings of the case melodramatic 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.
Jethmalani said that as part of the matrimonial decree, Sunjay Kapur was to pay for the children’s studies and 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.
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur were married for 13 years, between 2003 and 2016, before getting divorced. They have a son and a daughter together. Sunjay later married Priya.
Senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, appearing for Priya Kapur, termed the claim to be fabricated and baseless and said she has consistently looked after the children’s needs and that the fees has 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, also 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.
