Priya Kapur Approaches Delhi HC Seeking Access To Sunjay Kapur’s EPF Funds to Pay Fees of Karisma's Kids

The Delhi High Court has issued a formal notice regarding an urgent application filed by Priya Kapur, who is seeking permission to withdraw funds from the late businessman Sunjay Kapur's Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) account. The money would be used exclusively to cover school fees and other educational expenses for his two children, Samaira and Kiaan, whom he had with his former wife, actress Karisma Kapoor.

The petition was heard on 26 May 2026. It asks the court to clarify and partially modify an interim injunction issued by a coordinate bench on 30 April, which froze Sunjay Kapur's entire estate amid an ongoing inheritance dispute, Republic TV reported.

According to legal documents, Priya Kapur has requested changes to clauses (b) and (d) of paragraph 79 of the April order. The original ruling prevented any liquidation, transfer, or dissipation of the industrialist's personal assets and corporate holdings. However, the order did allow for limited flexibility to meet essential obligations concerning his children.

Priya Kapur's legal team told the court that the requested EPF withdrawal would be used solely for school fees and related academic costs. They stressed that no part of the funds would be diverted for any other purpose.

The wider legal battle over Sunjay Kapur's estimated Rs 30,000-crore empire involves several family members, including Priya Kapur, Karisma Kapoor's children, and Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur. Following Sunjay Kapur's death in June 2025, the High Court froze his domestic assets after objections were raised over a contested 2025 will. Family members have allegedly described the will as forged, citing digital and textual inconsistencies.

In a separate case, Rani Kapur has also sought the dissolution of a family trust. She has accused Priya Kapur of exploiting her medical vulnerability to take control of corporate affairs.

That matter is now being mediated by former Chief Justice of India D. Y. Chandrachud, under the supervision of the Supreme Court of India. The High Court is expected to hear the EPF application in the coming weeks.
