Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya Kapur, argued earlier than Justice Jyoti Singh that mere typographical errors or spelling errors in the will don’t render the doc invalid. “The only grounds to challenge a will are if the deceased was not of sound mind or was under coercion. Spelling mistakes, wrong address, or errors like writing ‘testatrix’ instead of ‘testator’ are not valid grounds,” Nayar asserted.
Further, the protection said that the truth that the will surfaced seven weeks after Sunjay Kapur’s loss of life doesn’t invalidate it both. “Is that a challenge maintainable under the law?

This has been vehemently contested by Karisma Kapoor’s kids Samaira and Kiaan, who’ve accused Priya of forging the doc and trying to achieve unique management over Sunjay Kapur’s belongings.
Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing the kids, has raised critical doubts on the will’s validity, highlighting quite a few discrepancies together with the usage of female pronouns “she” and “her” to explain Sunjay Kapur in a number of sections of the doc. Jethmalani termed Priya Kapur as “an acute gambler” and characterised the alleged will as a “fabricated document” designed to disinherit the kids and consolidate management of the property.
Addressing the witnesses of the will, Nayar identified that the people who attested the doc had been a Chartered Accountant and a Company Secretary related to Sunjay Kapur’s enterprise, hinting at credibility. He additionally revealed that affidavits from these witnesses had been submitted in court to substantiate the will’s authenticity.
