The judgment stated that £35 million – belonging to Nizam of Hyderabad at the time of partition in 1947 and given to Pakistan for safe-keeping in Natwest London bank account – belongs to heirs of Nizam in India. Prince Mukarram Jah, the 8th Nizam of Hyderabad and his younger brother Muffakham Jah, had joined hands with India in the legal fight against Pakistan over £35 million. The original amount, which was about £1,007,940, has now grown to around £35 million after 70 years. FO further said that Pakistan had taken note of the judgment by the High Courts of Justice of the UK in the Hyderabad fund case on Wednesday after a two-week trial in June 2019. Pakistan is closely examining all aspects of the detailed judgment and will take further action in light of legal advice received.
