Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is once again in trouble as his property worth Rs 15,000 crore is feared to be lost.
The Pataudi family, led by Bollywood actor and “Chhote Nawab” Saif Ali Khan, suffered a huge blow of Rs 15,000 crore soon after he was discharged from the hospital.
According to Indian media reports, the historical properties of the Pataudi family, worth Rs 15,000 crore, may be seized by the Indian government.
According to Indian media reports, the Madhya Pradesh High Court lifted the ban on these properties in 2015. This decision paved the way for these properties to come under the control of the government under the Enemy Property Act of 1968.
Justice Vivek Aggarwal in the judgment said that legal recourse is available under the 2017 amendment to the Enemy Property Act. The court directed the concerned parties to submit representations within 30 days. If representations are submitted, the appellate authority will decide the matter on merits without observing time limits.
According to Indian media, several properties will be affected by the decision, including… Safe Ali Khan’s childhood residence Flagstaff House, Noor Al Sabah Palace, Dar es Salaam Bungalow, Habibi’s Bungalow, Ahmedabad Palace, and Koh Fiza property.
It is important to note that the Enemy Property Act allows the government to lay claim to the properties of persons who have migrated to Pakistan or China.
Hameedullah Khan, the last Nawab of Bhopal, had three daughters, the eldest of whom, Abida Sultan, migrated to Pakistan in 1950. Due to her migration, her younger sister Sajda Sultan was declared the rightful heir to the estates when she settled in India. stay .
Sajda Sultan married Nawab Iftikhar Ali Khan of Pataudi and her grandson Saif Ali Khan inherited the family inheritance. However, due to Abida Sultan’s migration, the Indian government claimed these properties as “enemy property”.
In 2019, the court recognized Sajida Sultan as the legal heir of Bhopal state. However, the recent judgment has reignited the controversy over these properties.
