India News: The two daughters of the late king of Faridkot, Harinder Singh Brar, will inherit property worth Rs 20,000 crore. Twenty-four years after the death of the king, the eldest of his three daughters — Amrit Kaur, who is 85 years old — has won the litigation against a trust, which was formed by the late king's servants. A court has awarded Amrit Kaur and Deepinder Kaur, the other daughter, 50% each of the property. The third daughter is no longer alive. The properties to be inherited by the two sister include the Faridkot House at Copernicus Marg, New Delhi; Site No.1, Nyay Marg, New Delhi; Faridkot Palace, Faridkot; Manimajra Fort (where the Oscar winning Zero Dark Thirty was filmed); properties in Hyderabad, Mashobra near Shimla and other parts of North India.

After the death of his only son in 1981, Raja Harinder Singh Brar suffered from depression and mental stress. His servants and some lawyers executed a will on 1 June 1982, without the knowledge of the family members. On the basis of the will, the Meharwal Khewaji Trust was constituted and all his servants, lawyers and some others became trustees, and two of the king's daughters — Deepinder Kaur and Maheepinder Kaur — were appointed chairwoman and vice-chairwoman. The will had no provisions for the wife and the mother of the king, who were alive at the time of the execution of the alleged will.

In 1992, Amrit Kaur, filed a declaratory suit demanding 1/3 share of the properties. During the pendency of the suit, the youngest sister, Maheepinder Kaur, died under mysterious circumstances at Mashobra. Additional civil judge (Senior Division) Rajnish Kumar Sharma pronounced in an open court that the trust is illegal.
