In a major development regarding historical assets, the Rajasthan government has initiated a rigorous scrutiny of records concerning properties belonging to the former princely state of Jaipur located in Uttar Pradesh, including Agra, Prayagraj, Varanasi, and Mathura. Officials have sent an official communication to the Uttar Pradesh government requesting comprehensive information, old documents, and legacy records regarding these holdings. Citing provisions of the 1952 merger agreement, the Rajasthan government asserts its rightful ownership over these historical estates, sparking an administrative investigation into land parcels, mansions, and buildings that have seen decades of shifting usage.

Focus on Agra's Jaipur House Land, Mansions, and Government Offices Amid Ongoing Investigation

The claim is particularly centered on approximately 100 bighas of land in Agra, alongside two historic mansions, the Mankameshwar Temple, and a stretch of road within the well-known Jaipur House area. Historical records indicate that municipal corporation documents previously divided about 350 plots on this land, and some of the old buildings currently house various government offices. Beyond Agra, the inquiry extends to approximately 35.25 acres of land in Prayagraj, properties in Varanasi's Mohalla Maan Mandir, and about 2.16 acres in Mathura. As local administration and municipal corporation archives are thoroughly searched to trace the evolution of current ownership and allocations, this inter-state verification of 1952 merger documents promises to redefine the legal status of these prominent heritage properties.
