Madhya Pradesh: The Pataudi family’s historic properties, valued at Rs 15,000 crore and associated with Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, are now closer to being taken under government control. The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently ruled to lift a stay placed on these properties in 2015. This decision brings the properties one step closer to possible acquisition under the Enemy Property Act of 1968.
The Supreme Court, today (20th Sept) led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, dismissed SpiceJet’s appeal against a Delhi High Court ruling requiring the airline to ground three aircraft engines due to unpaid dues. The High Court upheld that SpiceJet’s default violated a payment arrangement, emphasizing the urgency to protect the lessors’ interests.
