The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued an order preventing the alienation of the historic Datia Fort and barred the creation of any third‑party rights over the property.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court today issued a stay order on the alienation of the historic Datia Fort, effectively halting any sale or transfer of the property.
The ruling comes after a long-running dispute over ownership and the rights of third parties who had previously claimed interests in the fort.
In its judgment, the court emphasized that the fort is a heritage site and any alienation must be subject to strict scrutiny, preventing the creation of new third‑party rights that could compromise its preservation.
The parties are now directed to file a detailed report on the fort’s status and the court will schedule a hearing to examine the next steps in the dispute.
