Priya Jain, daughter of the late Davinder Kumar Jain who founded the Luxor Group in 1963, has petitioned the Delhi high court to set aside its recent ruling that upheld the validity of a 2004 family will, which she has claimed to be forged and wrongfully denies her sustenance and inheritance rights.

The disputed 2004 will makes Usha Jain, the wife of the late patriarch, the sole beneficiary of his assets worth hundreds of crores, leaving out all their four children. Priya has filed the petition before the Delhi high court, challenging its previous order. Mint has seen a copy of the petition.

"While passing the judgment, the single judge (bench) not only has ignored relevant facts but also passed the judgment completely contrary to the established standards of proof and established principles of law," Priya said in her petition.
