Legal disputes
The Salar Jung estate has been the subject of prolonged legal battles. In 2021, the Supreme Court of India directed the expeditious resolution of what it described as one of the country’s oldest civil suits, involving the distribution of Salar Jung family properties. In 2024, reports surfaced of a disputed gift deed, in which land valued at ₹150 crore was transferred to the driver of a Shiv Sena Member of Parliament by a Salar Jung descendant. Courts have also reviewed appointments to the Salar Jung Museum board, where family members traditionally hold seats. ==References==
