According to a report in Bollywood Life, Saif Ali Khan’s luxurious House of Pataudi comes under the Enemy Dispute Act, 1968, of the Government of India. As per the report, no one can claim the right over such properties, and they cannot be inherited. As a result, all the luxurious assets and everything that is inside the Pataudi House come under this act, which is why Saif’s children, Sara Ali Khan, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan won’t be able to inherit it.
The report further stated that despite the strict law, any person, who wants to claim the properties can move to the High Court, Supreme Court, and even to the President of India. As per the report, Saif Ali Khan's great-grandfather, Hamidullah Khan, who was a Nawab under the British regime, couldn’t make a testament to all his assets.
