The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday gave its verdict in a 100-year-old property inheritance case that had started in a court in Rajasthan in 1918.

The property case, which dates back to 1918, was about a dispute over the inheritance of 700 acres (5,600 kanals) of land in Bahawalpur, a region that was regarded as part of the Rajputana States before the partition. Following the partition, the case was transferred to a trial court in Bahawalpur, a city in Pakistan’s Punjab province. In 2005, the case was transferred to the apex court .

The complainants, who travelled from Bahawalpur to Islamabad for the hearing, claimed their elder Shahabuddin, son of Sher Khan, was the owner of the land. He had died in 1918, and the dispute had been going on since then.
