Delhi High Court rejects Sultana Begum's claim to Red Fort due to delayed filing.

The Delhi High Court has denied Sultana Begum's request to reclaim the Red Fort, which she claimed belonged to her family, descendants of Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II. The court dismissed the appeal due to a delay of over two-and-a-half years in filing, following a similar decision in December 2021 that rejected her claim based on the long delay in seeking legal action. Begum argued that the British East India Company had seized the property in 1857.
