The High Court in Jabalpur has stayed eviction proceedings against the occupants of Riyaz Manzil, granting them 60 days to resolve an enemy property dispute. The case centers on approximately eight hectares of land in Kohefiza village, Huzur tehsil. The district administration had launched eviction proceedings via a sub-divisional magistrate's court, issuing show-cause notices to the occupants and others.
However, the petitioners argue that revenue records tie the land to Nawab Hamidullah Khan and Nawab Begum Sajida Sultan, rather than Aftab Jahan Begum. Their legal representatives, Jagdish Chhavani and Khalid, expressed relief at the High Court's decision, allowing them to present their case to the Central government for settlement.
If the Central government's decision favors the occupants, they can seek further appeal at the Supreme Court. Presently, the SDM court's eviction proceedings remain suspended during this 60-day window, as stated by legal counsel.
