‘Not just Saif': Other Royals too claim share in last nawab's properties
Bhopal: The Supreme Court has stayed MP high court order to remand a property dispute involving the Bhopal royal family to the trial court. The case concerns assets of the last Nawab of Bhopal, Hamidullah Khan, whose daughter Sajida Sultan —grandmother of film actor Saif Ali Khan— was declared sole heir in 1962. Descendants of the Nawab's elder brothers and other siblings are now contesting the claim. What Does The Plea Say? On Aug 8, the SC bench of Justices P S Narsimha and Atul Chandurkar stayed the MP high court order while issuing notices in an appeal by Omar Faruq Ali and Raashid Ali, descendants of Nawab Obaidullah Khan. Their counsel Aadil Singh Boparai talking to TOI said, "Madhya Pradesh high court, in its June 30 judgment, reaffirmed the principle from the Talat Fatima (Rampur) case that the Nawab's properties should devolve amongst his legal heirs as per Muslim personal law. However, despite upholding this principle, it erroneously remanded the case to the Bhopal trial court for fresh consideration. The current petition before the supreme court challenges the HC judgment to the extent to the remand to the trial court for fresh consideration. " A History Of Judgments In 2019, the Supreme Court set a precedent by ruling that Talat Fatima Rampur's royal property should be divided according to personal law. MP high court had set aside a February 14, 2000, trial court judgment that upheld the exclusive rights of Nawab's daughter Sajida Sultan, her son cricketer late Mansoor Ali Khan and their legal heirs, actor Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan, Saba Sultan, and veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, over the estate. The high court said the trial court's ruling was based on a 1997 Allahabad high court verdict which was later overturned by the supreme court in 2019 and remanded the case back to the trial court for reconsideration. Another Facet Of Dispute There's another twist in the royal property dispute. In 2015, the government vested properties of Abida Sultan, Hamidullah's eldest daughter, because she moved to Pakistan. Her assets in India have been labeled 'enemy property.' "Abida Sultaan was an ex-party in the original 1972 case, (which involved over 20 claimants to Bhopal royal properties)," explained Jabalpur based, Rajesh Kumar Pancholi, former counsel for the Pataudi family. The 2019 Rampur case was important because it said all heirs—including women—should get a share. But Pancholi says that case may not fully apply to Bhopal. Since 1972 many of the Nawab's properties—spread across Bhopal, Sehore, and Raisen—have been sold or are in possession by others. The high court has banned any new sales or transfers while the case is still going on. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Role of moral edu, books in students' life highlighted
Mangaluru: Moral education is essential for today's society, and books serve as a guiding light for a meaningful life, said film director and lyricist V Nagendra Prasad. He was speaking after releasing 'Jnanapatha' and 'Jnanaratha', published under the Yoga and Moral Education programme in schools, at an event organised by Shantivana Trust in Dharmasthala on Tuesday. Prasad said the books were excellent companions and the articles in them provide inspiration and motivation. Recalling his connection with Dharmasthala, Prasad said he had stayed there for three months while producing the film 'Sri Manjunatha'. Before starting work, he had sought the blessings of Dharmadhikari D Veerendra Heggade, who had cautioned him not to commercialise Lord Manjunatha. He said the film, made at a cost of Rs 7 crore, was a major effort though it incurred losses. He also spoke of his study of Jainism and Kannada poets like Pampa, Ranna and Janna. Actor Dattanna (Dattatreya HD) said values must begin at home. "Life is not about longevity, but about living meaningfully. Reading good books builds values and character," he said. Presiding over the event, Heggade said students are the country's future, and yoga and moral education programme shape them. He stressed that applying lessons from books in daily life can guide students towards good conduct. By controlling senses and avoiding bad habits, they can become assets to society, he added. Hemavathi V Heggade, D Harshendra Kumar and Supriya Harshendra Kumar were present. Winners of the state-level postal and drawing competitions were honoured on the occasion.

Sculptors battle rain with fire sprays to ready Ganesh idols
1 2 Ranchi: The ongoing monsoon, marked by above average downpour this year so far, is giving tough time to idol makers in the state capital ahead of the upcoming Ganesh puja later this month. With few days left for the festival, idol makers are running against time to ensure their creations take shape to meet the deadline. With moisture refusing to let the clay or paint settle, artisans have now resorted to an unusual but effective solution: fire sprays to dry their creations. "For the eight-foot heavy idols, a full gas cylinder is consumed just in the drying process. The time varies depending on the thickness of the clay and the weather outside, but without fire sprays, we could never meet the deadlines this year," said sculptor Prasanjeet Hazra. Hazra, who has been making idols for more than a decade, said orders this time extend beyond Ranchi to neighbouring districts like Ramgarh and Hazaribag. "We are preparing idols priced anywhere between Rs 1,000 and Rs 80,000. The heaviest ones, costing around Rs 60,000 to Rs 80,000, are the toughest to dry. Still, devotees want them ready in time, so we must keep pushing through," he said. To shield their work from relentless downpours, artisans have improvised by covering half their open spaces with tarpaulin sheets and building temporary sheds. The challenges go beyond drying and sheltering the idols. Sculptors say repeated moisture damage has forced them to repaint many pieces twice over, driving up costs and labour.
