Story highlights

In a major relief to Saif Ali Khan, the Supreme Court has reportedly stayed the MP High Court's order in the 25-year-old Bhopal Nawab Hamidullah Khan's property dispute involving the Bollywood actor and his family. 

The fate of properties worth Rs 15,000 crore owned by the former rulers of Bhopal and inherited by Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and his family remains uncertain. However, in a major relief, reportedly, the Supreme Court on August 8, 2025, heard a petition filed against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's direction to send back the property dispute case to the lower court for fresh hearing.
