Hyderabad fund case: Pakistan loses as UK top court favours India

Author: Web Desk

KARACHI: Rejecting Islamabad’s claims to an amount of £35 million on Wednesday in the case involving the Nizam of Hyderabad at the time of partition, UK High Court gave its ruling in a decades-old legal battle between Pakistan and India.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs took notice of the verdict and issued a statement saying, “Pakistan has taken note of the judgment by the High Courts of Justice of the UK in the Hyderabad Fund Case, today, after two weeks trial in June 2019. The judgment rejects the longstanding claims of the two major parties and upholds the claims of the heirs of Nizam of Hyderabad.”

Pakistan is closely examining all aspects of the detailed judgment and will take further action in light of legal advice received.
