Madhya Pradesh HC Dismisses Saif Ali Khan’s Plea on Bhopal Enemy Property Dispute

The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed Saif Ali Khan's plea against the government taking over his family’s ancestral properties under the Enemy Property Act, 1968.

The court asked him to file an appeal with the Ministry of Home Affairs within 30 days. Saif, a descendant of Nawab Hamidullah Khan, is fighting for properties like Bhopal’s Flag Staff House, Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, and over 7,000 acres of land.

Enemy property includes assets left in India by people who moved to Pakistan or China during Partition. These properties are managed by the Custodian of Enemy Property under the law.
