New Delhi’s legal corridors are buzzing with the escalating family feud over the multi-billion-rupee empire left by late industrialist Sanjay Kapoor. In a significant development, the Delhi High Court has deferred the hearing on a petition filed by Sanjay’s mother, Rani Kapoor, pushing the next date to January 28.
Rani Kapoor has taken her daughter-in-law Priya Kapoor and the children of actress Karisma Kapoor to court, seeking to declare a family trust invalid. She alleges this trust was craftily set up to illegally seize control of family assets without her knowledge or consent.
The petition paints a picture of betrayal uncovered after Sanjay’s untimely death on June 12, 2025. Rani claims her properties and legacy were stealthily transferred into the trust, orchestrated by Priya and Karisma’s children to sideline her completely.
Post Sanjay’s passing, Priya swiftly assumed key positions in the Sona Group companies, making decisions behind Rani’s back. Information was withheld, access restricted, leaving the matriarch in the dark about her own empire.
Rani is demanding the trust’s annulment, restoration of all assets, and an interim stay on any property transactions until the court delivers its final verdict. This high-stakes drama underscores the vulnerabilities in family-run conglomerates, where personal ties clash with business interests.
As the January 28 hearing looms, all eyes are on how the court navigates this tangled web of inheritance, trust, and alleged deceit, potentially reshaping the Kapoor legacy.
