The Supreme Court of India has drawn parallels between the ongoing ₹30,000 crore estate dispute of the Kapur family and the epic Mahabharat. Rani Kapur, the mother of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur, filed a plea to prevent interference in the RK Family Trust's operations while mediation proceedings are underway. Justice JB Pardiwala remarked on the complexity of the case, stating, 'The Mahabharat will look very small.' Rani Kapur's plea seeks to restrain Priya Sachdev Kapur and others from disrupting trust functions until mediation, initiated by the court on May 7, concludes. The court has scheduled the next hearing for May 14. The dispute has garnered significant attention, particularly following the appointment of former Chief Justice DY Chandrachud as mediator. The Supreme Court has also instructed all involved parties, including Sunjay's children from his previous marriage to actress Karisma Kapoor, to engage in mediation with an open mind and to refrain from making public comments regarding the matter. Rani Kapur alleges that the family trust was fraudulently established to transfer control of Sona Group assets without her consent, claiming she was misled into signing documents after suffering a stroke in 2017. This inheritance battle is one of the most closely monitored cases in India involving a prominent business family.
