UK court judgement in Hyderabad Deccan Fund case being examined

Pakistan is closely examining all aspects of the detailed judgment issued by the High Courts of Justice of the UK in the Hyderabad Deccan Fund Case and will take further action in light of legal advice.

This was stated by Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal in a statement on Wednesday.

He said Pakistan has taken note of the judgment, after a 2 weeks trial in June 2019 which rejected the longstanding claims of the two major parties and upholds the claims of the heirs of Nizam of Hyderabad.

The Spokesperson said the ruling did not take into account the historical context of the transfer when India illegally annexed Hyderabad Deccan in violation of International Law and all civilized norms.

He said that the Nizam also raised the matter with the UN Security Council where the issue remains on the agenda to date.

He said the Nizam as a sovereign approached Pakistan for assistance which Islamabad provided.

Earlier Royal Court of Justice in London has ruled the Hyderabad Deccan Funds case in favor of heirs of Nizam of Hyderabad.

The Royal Court of Justice in London ruled that 1 million pound that was deposited to the account of Pakistani High Commissioner in London 71 years ago actually belongs to the heirs of Nizam of Hyderabad.
