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.

Industry says manufacturers have 2-4 weeks of buffer stocks, but prolonged disruption could push up shortage risks, especially of consumables like IV and syringes.
French newspaper La Tribune earlier last week indicated that UAE withdrew from deal to fund EUR 3.5 billion. India is looking to order 114 new Rafales, which could include the F5.

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.
