Now, former Maharaja's nephew stakes claim to property worth Rs 20,000 crore

In a fresh twist, nephew of erstwhile Maharaja of Faridkot Harinder Singh Brar has decided to challenge a recent court order which granted inheritance of assets worth Rs 20,000 crore to the late ruler's two surviving daughters.

Kanwar Bharatinder Singh, son of the Maharaja's younger brother, late Kanwar Manjitinder Singh, has staked claim to the property citing the "Rule of Primogeniture", according to which property rights are granted to first born son or eldest living male blood relative.

"It has been appearing in the media that the will of the Maharaja of 1982, which a court in Chandigarh has declared as illegal and void, was only being disputed by the daughter Rajkumari Amrit Kaur," Kanwar Bharatinder Singh's son Amarinder Singh Brar told reporters today.
