A bench, including Justices PS Narasimha and Atul Chandurkar, issued a notice against the High Court order of June 30, Omar Farooq Ali and Rashid Ali, the descendants of the elder brother of Nawab Hamidullah Khan, and Rashid Ali.

The petitioners have challenged the High Court’s verdict to separate February 14, 2000, the trial court verdict kept the Nawab’s daughter Sajida Sultan, his son Mansoor Ali Khan (former India cricket captain of India), and his legal heirs, actor Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan, Saba Soldt, and The Veteran, Estate, Estate, and The Veteran Harden, and The Veteran Harden, and The Veteran Harden, and The Vataran Hardan, and The Vataran Hardan, and The Vataran Harden, kept their legal successors.

The High Court said that the trial court’s verdict was based on the High Court verdict of Allahabad of 1997, which was later reversed by the Supreme Court in 2019.

However, instead of implementing the 2019 example and decisively deciding the case, the High Court sent the case for revaluation.

Senior Advocate Devdut Kamat, who was present for the petitioners, said that the Remand order of the High Court was contrary to the procedural norms mentioned under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC).

The case originated in a civil suit filed in 1999 by members of the extended family of the Nawab, including the late Begum Suraiya Rashid and his children, Mahabano (also deceased), Neelofar, Nadir, and Yawar, as well as Nawabjadi Kamar Taj Rabia Sultan.

The plaintiff demanded division, possession and equitable disposal of the Nawab’s personal property.

The trial court ruled in favor of Sajida Sultan, stating that the property was not subject to the Muslim individual law and developed on it under constitutional provisions.

After the Nawab’s death in 1960, the Government of India issued a 1962 certificate, in which Sajida Sultan was recognized as both the ruler of individual property and the right successor under Article 366 (22) of the Constitution.

However, the plaintiff said that the Nawab’s personal property should be distributed among all legal heirs under the Muslim Personal Law.

He also stated that the 1962 certificate was not formally contested, but it was claimed that it should not be equal division.

Respondenms, including actor Saif Ali Khan and his family, argued that succession followed the rule of Primogenry and Sajida Sultan had inherited both the royal title (Gaddi) and personal qualities.

Reversing the trial court’s decision, the High Court sent the case. The petitioners demanded the opposite to the remand order to the apex court.
