Industrialist Nusli Wadia has been allowed by the Bombay High Court (BHC) to step in as petitioner in place of his mother Dina, who died last year, in a decade-old claim for ownership of Jinnah House, noted The Times of India of August 10, 2018. The bungalow at Bombay’s Malabar Hill belonged to Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Dina’s father, who is widely regarded as the father of Pakistan. Nusli had approached the BHC in 2017 following his mother’s death. The industrialist’s counsel Darius Khambata said Nusli should be permitted to substitute his mother as the petitioner in the 2007 writ filed by her since he is her legal heir and representative.
Dina died in November 2017 (see "Like father, like daughter,” Parsiana, December 21, 2017), leaving behind her last will of April 2009 relating to her properties in India. Counsel for the central government A. M. Sethna said that since Nusli had not obtained probate, he cannot be substituted as her legal heir and representative.
