The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea by Sultana Begum laying claim to the Red Fort alleged being rightful legal owner as the widow of Mirza Mohammed Bedar Bakht, the great-grandson of Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar.
The Counsel appearing for petitioner Mathew Thomas urged the bench to hear his arguments in the matter in detail. However, the bench responded that it was not keen on entertaining the plea.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice of Delhi high court D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh dismissed the petition filed by one Sadre Alam but reserved the judgment for 27 September.
