Rani Kapur Challenges Sunjay Kapur Estate Trust in Delhi High Court

A Delhi court at Patiala House has issued a legal notice to industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s sister, Mandhira Kapur Smith, in connection with a criminal defamation complaint filed by his wife, Priya Kapur. The development comes days after Priya approached the court alleging “serious reputational harm” caused by Mandhira’s public statements.

The notice was issued on Wednesday after the court found sufficient grounds to proceed with the complaint. Priya’s counsel told the court that Mandhira had previously also taken Sunjay Kapur to court.

After examining the complaint filed under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), the court concluded that a prima facie case existed to issue notice. Mandhira Kapur Smith has been directed to appear before the court on March 12, the next date of hearing.
