A fresh chapter in the prolonged Kapoor inheritance saga unfolded in Delhi High Court, where Priya Kapoor dragged her sister-in-law Mandhira into a civil defamation arena. Summons were issued, but the court wisely recommended mediation to broker peace.
Detailing the grievances, Priya’s advocate informed the bench of defamatory barbs aimed at her and her minor son, broadcast widely and eroding their societal respect. These attacks, they contended, strike at the core of their lineage.
The judge responded decisively, barring media statements from either side to maintain decorum during proceedings.
Mandhira’s lawyers hit back, labeling the plaint riddled with suppressions and falsehoods, ready to dismantle it in court.
This isn’t the first rodeo; Priya’s arsenal includes criminal defamation cases in lower courts against Mandhira and media personality Pooja Chaudhary for peddling lies via digital channels to isolate and humiliate her.
Sanjay Kapoor’s passing ignited this firestorm over assets and testamentary wishes, pitting relatives against each other in multiple forums.
Scheduled for May 14, the next date looms as a potential turning point. The court’s mediation nudge reflects a preference for dialogue over discord in resolving such intimate yet explosive family rifts.
Observers note how these high-stakes disputes often amplify through media, complicating legal remedies and personal healing.
