The Rajasthan state government has begun reclaiming Jaipur royal properties located in four Uttar Pradesh cities, including Prayagraj, and has imposed a ban on their sale or purchase.
The Rajasthan government announced that it is initiating a process to take back 1,263 properties that belonged to the former Jaipur royal family and are situated in four cities of Uttar Pradesh, one of which is Prayagraj. The move comes as part of a broader effort to recover assets that were transferred or sold without official approval after the princely state merged with the Indian Union.
Under the new directive, any transaction involving these Jaipur properties – whether sale, purchase, or lease – is prohibited until the retrieval procedure is completed. Officials said the ban is intended to prevent further unauthorized dealings and to ensure that the assets can be accurately accounted for before any future disposition.
The decision was reported by Amar Ujala, which cited statements from Rajasthan's revenue department. While details of the other three cities were not disclosed, the focus on Prayagraj highlights the significance of the historic holdings in the region. The government has urged current occupants and potential buyers to cooperate with the investigation.
No timeline has been provided for the completion of the retrieval, but authorities indicated that the process will follow legal protocols and may involve court interventions where disputes arise.
