The Delhi High Court is examining a civil suit filed by Rani Kapur, widow of industrialist Sona Group founder Surinder Kapur, who has alleged that a family trust was unlawfully created to take control of her assets. She has claimed that the trust was formed through deceptive means and without her consent, resulting in the diversion of her property and business interests.
In her plea, Rani Kapur stated that under a Will executed by her late husband in 2013 and probated in 2016, she was the sole beneficiary of his estate. She contended that she continued to hold significant ownership and control over the family’s business interests until she discovered, after the death of her son Sunjay Kapur, that a trust titled the RK Family Trust had been created behind her back.
The suit alleges that the trust is illegal, unregistered, and fraudulent, and that several family members, including her daughter-in-law Priya Kapur, played an active role in orchestrating the transfer of assets. Rani Kapur further claimed that following her son’s death, steps were taken to exclude her from decision-making within group companies and restrict her access to critical information.
She has urged the Court to declare the trust void, restore her assets to their original position, and protect her rights over the family estate. The case adds to the ongoing legal battle within the Kapur family over inheritance, corporate control, and succession of business interests.
