Not 120, over 200 of Nizam kin may claim Hyderabad funds

Hyderabad | Monday | 21st October, 2019

Summary:

The two princesPrinces Mukarram Jah and Muffakham Jah, the two sons of Nizam VII’s eldest son Azam Jah, are said to be the most well-off members of the Nizam family today. While the Turkey-based Mukarram Jah was crowned the titular Nizam VIII following his grandfather’s death, his younger brother Muffakham takes care of the Nizam estate and finances and is based out of London. However, it is important to note that many family members have had a problem with this. Najaf is also incidentally the president of the Nizam Family Welfare Association, a committee which has over 120 family members as its signatories. Even in the Hyderabad Funds case, the judge Marcus Smith struck out his name as one of the stakeholders in the case stating that Mukarram Jah was ‘not interested in the funds’..
