The stage is set for a battle royale between the Indian government and Dina Wadia, daughter of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah, over Jinnah House when the Bombay High Court resumes next week after the Diwali vacation.
Dina, mother of leading industrialist Nusli Wadia, has claimed to be the rightful heir to the sprawling green and white three-storey colonial building, facing the Arabian Sea, in what is one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the country.
The prime property is located in south Mumbai's famed Malabar Hill.

According to me Jinnah House does not belong to any Pakistani as the division had already been made. Punjab was divided into half and all the non-muslims on the other side of the border (Pakistans side) were literally thrown out. Lahore actually belonged to India. This is actually a huge case: India's pride is involved in this and I know its rude but Dina Wadia should/will lose this battle.
Jinnah house should converted into a museum.Its has witnessed the freedom struggle and partition.Lets keep the good and bad memories intact.
Iam in total agreement with pavwala and punch .. rather i would be more happy if they covert jinnah house to residence of opposition leader. It will have a huge symbollic impact.
Hahah.good one.. imagine Shiv Sena/BJP MLA living in jinnah house.
