SC decides royal battle for Faridkot estate, orders in daughters' favour
Bringing to an end the 30-year long legal battle among family members of erstwhile Faridkot Maharaja Harinder Singh Brar over who should inherit properties worth around Rs 20,000 crore, the Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Punjab and Haryana high court's order that ruled in favour of his daughters Amrit Kaur and Deepinder Kaur and declared that the trust, which was managing the affairs of the estate, was created on the basis of a forged will. It dismissed three special leave petitions, directing Mahrawal Khewaji Trust to keep running the charitable hospital till September 30 until the appointment of a receiver and maintain the property till the decree was executed.
