Last month, HC set aside an order upholding Saif & family's ownership of Nawab Hamidullah's property, which now faces division under personal laws & classification under Enemy Property Act.
The properties belonged to Hamidullah Khan, Saif’s great-grandfather and the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal. They include estates such as Flag Staff House and Noor-Us-Sabah Palace.
The sentiment behind 'enemy property' has changed over the years, most significantly in 2017, when an amendment completely prevented Indians from laying claim to ancestral properties.
‘Enemy’ property belonging to citizens of Pakistan and China will be sold for revenue. And a problematic amendment to a wartime act in 2017 will help Modi govt do it.
New bill aims to fix key issues with IBC 2016, including delays & patchy implementation, and protect creditors, with window for genuine promoters to retain control of their companies.
Billed as the military’s own version of Raisina Dialogue, the event will spotlight on tech-driven warfighting, lessons from Operation Sindoor and release of three new doctrines.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Saif and his family are too clever. His family whole-heartedly supported the Pakistan Movement and generously funded the Muslim League.
After Partition, only a few members of the family actually immigrated to Pakistan. Why? Because Pakistan offered no concrete future for them – they were not sure whether they would enjoy the same status in society.
The rest stayed back to enjoy their generational wealth and privilege in a secular India.
