Enemy Property Act and the dispute

As per the provisions of the Enemy Property Act,fhm63 games the central government is allowed to claim properties owned by individuals who migrated to Pakistan post-Partition.

A historical link makes the law applicable to the aforementioned case. Bhopal's last Nawab, Hamidullah Khan, had three daughters. While his eldest daughter Abida Sultan migrated to Pakistan in 1950, his second daughter, Sajida Sultan, stayed back in India. Sajida married Nawab Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and therefore became the legal heir of the historic Pataudi properties. Later, Sajida's grandson, Saif Ali Khan, inherited a share of the properties.

Even though Saif Ali Khan is Sajida's grandson, the government capitalised on Abida Sultan's migration to Pakistan which brought the properties under the ambit of'enemy property'.Although the court recognized Sajida Sultan as the legal heir, the recent court ruling once again stirred the family's property dispute.

Residents fear eviction

In view of the court ruling, Bhopal collector Kaushalendra Vikram Singh reportedly announced detailed plans to examine the ownership records of these properties over the last 72 years.

What left the residents of the above-mentioned properties in anxiety is the fear of eviction in the future as the collector said that the individuals staying on these lands may be treated as tenants under the state's leasing laws.

"The stay has been lifted, but merging these properties under the Enemy Property Act is complicated. The Pataudi family still has a chance to appeal," Sumer Khan, a resident told NDTV.

Chand Mian, another resident, expressed concern. "We pay taxes, but there's no registry for our homes. The Nawab's leases should still stand."
