The Delhi High Court has ordered the freezing of assets belonging to businessman Sunjay Kapur, the son-in-law of former Union Minister Kamal Nath. The court also restrained his wife, Priya Kapur, from engaging in any third-party dealings related to the disputed properties.
Court Order Details
Justice Prathiba M. Singh passed the interim order on a plea by Kamal Nath's wife, Alka Nath, who alleged that Sunjay Kapur had fraudulently transferred properties belonging to her. The court directed the freezing of Kapur's bank accounts, shares, and other assets until further orders.
Allegations of Fraud
Alka Nath claimed that Sunjay Kapur, in collusion with Priya, sold off properties worth crores without her consent. She stated that the properties were held in her name and were meant for her grandchildren's welfare. The court found prima facie evidence of misappropriation and fraud.
Restraints on Priya Kapur
The court also restrained Priya Kapur from dealing with any third parties concerning the properties in question. This includes selling, transferring, or creating any encumbrances on the assets. The order aims to prevent further dissipation of assets during the pendency of the suit.
Legal Proceedings
The matter is listed for further hearing after four weeks. The court has directed Sunjay Kapur to file an affidavit disclosing all his assets and bank accounts. The order is a significant development in the ongoing family dispute over property rights.
