The 37-year-old dispute over the property of the Mewar's ex-royal family inheritance was settled on Tuesday. On this, Additional District and Sessions Judge Mahendra Kumar Dave held 25% of the property in the former Maharana late Bhagwat Singh's share, while the remaining 75% of the assets awarded to his son Mahendra Singh Mewar, Arvind Singh Mewar and daughter Yogeshwari in 25-25% share but till the partition is not done, the three will use the entire 75% of the property for four years.

All three siblings will have the right to use the property after every 4 years:

The right to use these assets will first belong to Mahendra Singh, followed by Yogeshwari and then Arvind Singh Mewar. This sequence will change every four years. Yogeshwari is the wife of Krishna Singh, a resident of Sitamau Palace in Madhya Pradesh.

According to the decision of the court, all the movable and immovable properties not transferred to the company, trustees or persons, such as Shambhu Niwas, Badi Pal, Grass House, etc. will be used by three parties Mahendra Singh, Arvind Singh and Yogeshwari for four years. Since these properties are currently with Arvind Singh, he has been asked to give these assets, accounts, and documents to Mahendra on 1 April 2021. Mahendra Singh will give the property to Yogeshwari on 1 April 2025. After this, Yogeshwari on 1 April 2029 will hand over these assets to Arvind Singh.

Narendra Singh filed a case against father Bhagwat Singh in 1983:

According to lawyer Narendra Singh, Mahendra Singh had filed a case before the District Judge on April 22, 1983, against father Bhagwat Singh, brother Arvind Singh, mother Maharani Sushila, grandmother Rajmata Vird Kunwar. It reported that in January 1983, Bhagwat Singh refused to give him legal rights.

In fact, on 15 April 1948, the last Maharana Bhupal Singh of Mewar signed a letter of confession from the Government of India. The government had confirmed Bhupal Singh's list of movable and immovable properties other than state assets. After his death on 4 July 1955, all the properties of Bhagwat Singh belonged to the Hindu undivided family. Mahendra and all family members are lawfully entitled to this property.
