Saif Ali Khan Wins Nayapura Land Dispute, Bhopal Court Rules in Favour of Ex-Royals

• Bhopal court ruled in favour of Saif Ali Khan, Sharmila Tagore, Soha Ali Khan, and other heirs in a 16.62-acre land dispute.
• The civil suit challenging ownership of the Nayapura land was dismissed, bringing relief to the Pataudi family.
• Plaintiffs claimed the land was gifted to their father by Nawab Hamidullah Khan in 1936 for services rendered.
• Court rejected plaintiffs' claims due to lack of reliable evidence, noting the land was recorded as Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's private property in 1949.
• Official records showed 12.62 acres of the land were sold by the Pataudi family to a private builder in 1998.

Why It Matters: Saif Ali Khan and family retain ownership of the 16-acre Nayapura land after a favourable court ruling.
