US EditionM.P. High Court Reverses Lower Court Order that Granted Ownership of Ancestral Properties to Saif Ali Khan, Family
- The Madhya Pradesh High Court reversed a 25-year-old Bhopal trial court ruling that granted ownership of ancestral properties to Saif Ali Khan and ordered a fresh hearing.
- The case arose from a decades-old inheritance dispute involving Nawab Hamidullah Khan's descendants and government claims under the Enemy Property Act.
- The court criticized the previous judgment for relying on the struck-down Bhopal Throne Succession Act, directing the trial court to restart proceedings and conclude within a year.
- The properties, including the Flag House and palaces worth around ₹15,000 crore, were declared enemy property following Abida Sultan's migration to Pakistan after Partition.
- The fresh trial could reshape the inheritance rights among the heirs and resolve one of the region's most high-profile legal disputes.
