Call Records Question Priya Kapur's Claims Over Sunjay Kapur's Will In Big Twist

Records suggest that Priya Kapur’s phone was not in Gurugram on the day she has stated on affidavit before the Delhi HC that she was physically present during the will's execution

Priya Kapur’s phone, according to the records, was connected to cell towers in New Delhi on that date between 9.22am and 4.30pm.

A fresh twist has emerged in the protracted inheritance battle over late Sona Comstar chief Sunjay Kapur’s Rs 30,000-crore estate after alleged call detail records (CDRs) of his third wife Priya Kapur, which surfaced on social media late on Tuesday evening, contradicted her claims pertaining to a will that is at the centre of the high-profile case.

According to the call detail records that have surfaced, Priya Kapur was purportedly in Delhi, and not in Gurugram, on the day her husband’s will was executed, even though she had claimed otherwise.

According to legal experts, the contradiction raises eyebrows because Priya Kapur’s claimed presence forms a key part of her account surrounding the will.

Advocate Swapnil Kothari noted that when a sworn affidavit is contradicted by electronic evidence, it directly impacts the credibility of the person making the statement. Even a single unexplained inconsistency, he said, can make courts cautious and lead them to closely examine not just the testimony but the circumstances in which the will was allegedly executed.

Senior advocate Ashok Paranjpe added that while registration may not be compulsory, witnesses who actually saw the signing are non-negotiable. In short: the paperwork must be spotless.

These developments have also brought renewed attention to submissions that have been on record for some time on behalf of Sunjay Kapur’s children, Samaira and Kiaan Kapur. In those filings, the children’s representatives had already raised concerns about the alleged will itself, pointing to spelling mistakes, incorrect use of pronouns for the testator, and internal inconsistencies. The submissions argue that while minor clerical errors may be overlooked in isolation, such lapses assume greater importance when the document concerns a vast business empire and is accompanied by disputed facts.

Senior family lawyer Mrunalini Deshmukh has clarified that a beneficiary does not need to be present when a will is executed, and that courts must ultimately decide based on what is written in the will. However, she cautioned that overstatement or lack of precision in affidavits can weaken a party’s case, as courts rely heavily on accuracy and consistency.

Advocate Prem Rajani added that in estates of this magnitude, courts expect careful and technically sound estate planning. When doubts arise whether from documents, affidavits, or surrounding circumstances, judges tend to scrutinise every detail more closely.
