The daughters of a former Indian maharaja Harinder Singh Brar have reportedly won a legal battle surrounding their late father's will and have acquired assets worth a whopping 4 billion dollars.
According to the BBC, the daughters of the Maharaja of Faridkot had been fighting the 21-year old legal battle which ended when the Chandigarh court ruled that the property documents had been forged.
One of the maharaja's daughters, Amrit Kaur had claimed that the will had been written under duress, at a time when the maharaja was suffering from depression.
As a result of which, it had left the maharaja's wealth in the care of a charitable trust set up by some of his servants and palace officials.
The report said that the assets which include a 350-year-old royal fort and a private aerodrome along with a property on one of Delhi's most expensive streets as well as gold and vintage cars will be inherited by his two surviving daughters.
Harinder Singh Brar was the titular ruler of the Faridkot area of Punjab before India became independent in 1947, the report added.
