Errum Manzil heirs move HC for compensation; seek stay on demolition
India TV NewsLegal heirs of Nawab Fakhr-ul-Mulk, who built the heritage monument 'Errum Manzil' in 1870, have moved the Telangana High Court seeking compensation from the state government as they alleged that about 11.5 acres were encroached upon by successive governments since 1969. Nawab Shafath Ali Khan, secretary, Nawab Fakhrul Mulk Bahadur Legal Heirs Association, said the petition was filed on Monday in the High Court, which is the custodian of the disputed land. He said the palatial building was a listed heritage monument under the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority Zoning Regulation, 1981 and was "deliberately" not included in the inventory of the Telangana Heritage Act, 2017. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao laid the foundation stone for the new legislature complex at Errum Manzil on June 27.
