HYDERABAD (India), July 8: The direct descendant of the Nizam of Hyderabad has received 740 million rupees for his share from the sale of rare jewels.

A royal family member said on Monday Mir Barkat Ali Khan, grandson of Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan and also known as Mukarram Jha, had reached a legal settlement with other relations who were all claimants to the 1995 sale. After a legal tussle, the settlement was reached in order to avoid a delay in distribution of the money.—AFP
