Rampur royal family value pegged at Rs 2,664 crore

Rampur (Uttar Pradesh), Nov 22 : The royal family of Rampur has finally been assigned a value — Rs 2,664 crores.
In their submissions to the district and sessions judge of Rampur, the court-appointed commissioners on Saturday filed their estimates of assets that belonged to the last Nawab of Rampur.
The court will now hold daily hearings to meet the December deadline that the Supreme Court had set for the division of property among the claimants.
The Nawab of Rampur, Raza Ali Khan, was the first to accede to India after Independence in 1949 on the condition that two things would not change — ownership of property and the right of primogeniture.
After his death in 1966, both spurred a dispute that led to one of the longest running civil suits in the country that is now in its 48th year.
He was survived by six daughters and three sons.
