The battle over the Kapur family inheritance has taken an unexpected twist with the mysterious disappearance of an important email attachment linked to the disputed Will of the late industrialist, Sunjay Kapur. During a recent hearing at the Bombay High Court, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Sunjay’s children with Karisma Kapoor, highlighted that the digital evidence regarding the Will is in question. The most concerning part is the missing attachment that could have major implications for the Rs. 30,000-crore estate.
Court documents reveal that a key witness, Dinesh Agarwal, sent two emails to executor Shradha Suri Marwah. The first email contained a Kapur Trust Deed, which has been confirmed deleted, while the second included the scanned Will. Alarmingly, it has come to light that although the email is intact, the Will attachment is missing.
Jethmalani made a striking point in court: “You cannot delete the attachment without deleting the email.” This raises serious doubts about the Will’s credibility, especially since Priya’s filings reference the missing document. This leads to the perplexing question: how can a document be cited if it’s reportedly disappeared?
The timeline of events adds to the uncertainty. Both Agarwal and another witness, Nitin Sharma, experienced significant professional advancements shortly after Sunjay’s passing, while Priya quickly returned to her role as AIPL’s Managing Director.
Legal experts are starting to notice a pattern. Jethmalani argued that “a Will that cannot withstand basic scrutiny cannot be trusted,” suggesting that the rapid changes in positions and the elusive attachment might be more than just coincidences.
Pratik Thadani, a legal expert, pointed out that the High Court will likely review all aspects: the emails, Priya’s quick return to power, the witnesses’ promotions, and the inconsistencies surrounding the Will.
With vital documents disappearing and a massive fortune on the line, the Kapur case resembles a riveting drama—one where a single missing attachment might hold the key to the entire ordeal.
