Delhi HC removes Mandhira Kapoor from Sanjay Kapoor’s ₹30,000 Cr will dispute as Priya Sachdev; family feud heats up.
The legal battle over late industrialist Sanjay Kapoor’s ₹30,000 crore estate has taken yet another dramatic turn. On September 12, 2025, the Delhi High Court formally removed Sanjay’s sister, Mandhira Kapoor, from the ongoing inheritance case, ruling that she is not a party to the proceedings.
The decision came after Sanjay’s widow, Priya Sachdev Kapoor, filed a petition alleging that Mandhira had attempted a “backdoor entry” into the case.

According to reports, Priya argued before the court that Mandhira’s name was being “wrongly included” in the case records despite her not filing any formal application to be a party. Priya’s petition stated:
“A careful review of the case history on the Delhi High Court website makes it clear that Mandhira Kapoor has not submitted any application to be included in the proceedings. The addition of her and her counsel’s names appears to be a deliberate attempt to gain an unfair advantage.”
Court Corrects Error in Records
Justice Jyoti Singh, who presided over the hearing, noted that Mandhira’s lawyers had been mistakenly listed in the September 10th order. After reviewing the matter, the court corrected the record and clarified that Mandhira Kapoor is not part of the inheritance proceedings.
This correction marks a significant shift in the ongoing property battle, which has already drawn multiple family members into a highly public legal feud.
Sanjay Kapoor’s Death and Property Dispute
Sanjay Kapoor passed away on June 12, 2025, following a sudden heart attack. Since then, his massive estate — valued at ₹30,000 crore — has become the subject of a bitter inheritance dispute.
The case currently involves several parties:
- Priya Sachdev Kapoor (widow and third wife of Sanjay) and her young son are listed as the primary beneficiaries.
- Karishma Kapoor’s children, Samaira and Kiaan, have filed claims seeking their rightful share in their father’s property.
- Rani Kapoor, Sanjay’s mother, is also a respondent, alleging that she was pressured into signing documents against her will in a “closed-room situation.”

Just days before this ruling, on September 10, Karishma Kapoor’s children — Samaira and Kiaan — filed a petition in the Delhi High Court. They claimed that Priya Sachdev had forged a will, excluding them completely from Sanjay’s assets. The children have demanded their rightful share, arguing that any forged will must be declared invalid.
Interestingly, Mandhira Kapoor, though removed from the court proceedings, had earlier voiced her support for Karishma’s children, stating publicly that she “stands by them” in the fight for justice.
What Lies Ahead?
The Kapoor estate dispute continues to grow more complex with each passing week. Allegations of forgery, coercion, and backdoor entries have only added fuel to the already tense family feud.
With Priya Sachdev defending her late husband’s will, Karishma’s children demanding their share, and Sanjay’s mother raising serious allegations of fraud, the case is expected to become one of the most high-profile inheritance battles in India.
The next hearing will likely determine how the court addresses the competing claims and whether forensic examination of Sanjay’s will be necessary.
