The legal battle over the massive estate of late businessman Sunjay Kapur has reached the Supreme Court of India, where the bench has advised his elderly mother to consider a settlement instead of prolonging the dispute.

Court Suggests Mediation Over Lengthy Legal Battle

During the recent hearing, a bench led by Justice J. B. Pardiwala pointed out that the case could take a long time to conclude. Keeping in mind the age of Rani Kapur, who is around 80, the court suggested that mediation would be a more practical and beneficial approach.

The court emphasized that while the case will proceed on merit, an amicable resolution could save time, effort, and further complications for both parties involved.

Who Is Involved in the Dispute?

The property dispute is primarily between:

• Rani Kapur
• Priya Sachdev

Rani Kapur has approached the Supreme Court seeking protection of both movable and immovable assets, citing concerns over potential misuse or misappropriation.

Background of the Case

Following the passing of Sunjay Kapur in 2025, a dispute reportedly emerged over assets worth thousands of crores. The matter has since escalated into a legal battle involving family members.

Sunjay Kapur was previously married to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. The two tied the knot in 2003 and later separated in 2016. They have two children together.

What Happens Next?

The Supreme Court has issued notice on the petition and encouraged both sides to explore mediation. The next hearing is expected soon, where further developments in the case will be closely watched.
