The Supreme Court of India has appointed former Chief Justice DY Chandrachud as a mediator to resolve the estate dispute involving the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur, who died in London in June 2022. The dispute centers around assets valued at ₹30,000 crore (approximately $3.6 billion USD) and involves his mother, Rani Kapur, and his wife, Priya Kapur. The court emphasized the importance of keeping the matter private and urged all parties, including Sunjay's children from his previous marriage to actress Karisma Kapoor, to approach mediation with an open mind. Rani Kapur has alleged that the family trust was created fraudulently to transfer control of Sona Group assets without her consent, claiming she was manipulated into signing documents during a medical crisis. The Delhi High Court has previously frozen foreign bank accounts linked to Sunjay Kapur and ordered the preservation of his assets amid ongoing legal proceedings. The Supreme Court's intervention aims to expedite resolution and prevent further legal complications, particularly considering Rani Kapur's age of 80 years.
