Rajasthan claims former Jaipur royal properties spread across four UP cities

The Rajasthan government has staked a formal claim to properties belonging to the erstwhile Jaipur princely state located across four cities in Uttar Pradesh. The disputed assets include Jaipur House land, which has become a point of contention between the two state governments. The Agra Development Authority (ADA) has pushed back, asserting that its records indicate the land was purchased from the Public Works Department in 1969. The dispute centers on the historical ownership of properties that existed prior to the merger of princely states after Indian independence. The conflicting claims from both sides are likely to require further legal or administrative scrutiny to resolve.
