Saif Ali Khan and his family have suffered a big blow in the long-running dispute over his ancestral property of Bhopal's Nawab Hamidullah Khan.

According to reports by India TV, the Jabalpur Bench has cancelled the 25-year-old decision given by the Bhopal trial court and ordered a fresh hearing of the case. The order requests that the court render a new decision on the property dispute within one year.
How is this property related to Saif Ali Khan?
The property in question belongs to Saif Ali Khan's great-grandmother, Sajida Sultan.

Earlier, the trial court had given the entire property to Sajida Sultan (great-grandmother) of Saif Ali Khan. She is the daughter of the Nawab's elder Begum. The dispute started when other heirs of Nawab Hamidullah Khan challenged the court's decision. They demanded an equitable division of property under Muslim Personal Law.
According to High Court Lawyer Harshit Bari, this case will now be heard again, and the new decision will decide who will get the rights to Nawab's property worth billions and how much.
