Saif Ali Khan Wins Bhopal Land Dispute, Securing 16-Acre Property Rights

• Actor Saif Ali Khan, his mother Sharmila Tagore, and sister Soha Ali Khan won a significant land dispute in a Bhopal court.
• The court dismissed a civil application challenging the ownership of 16.62 acres of land in Nayapura, Huzur Tehsil.
• Three local residents claimed the land was a gift from the last Nawab of Bhopal, Hamidullah Khan, to their father in 1936.
• The court rejected the claim, citing lack of strong evidence and confirming the land as personal property of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi in the 1949 Bhopal Merger Agreement.
• This verdict provides major relief to the Pataudi family and sets an important precedent for other royal property disputes in Bhopal.

Why It Matters: Saif Ali Khan and family secured ownership of 16 acres in Bhopal after a court dismissed a long-standing claim.
