Mohammad Amir Ahmed Khan راجا صاحب محمود آباد, Raja of Mahmudabad (5 November 1914 – 14 October 1973) popularly known as Raja Sahib of Mahmudabad was a prominent politician and leader of the All India Muslim League, during the Pakistan Movement.
He served as Managing Trustee from 1940–1944 of Madrasatul Waizeen, a centre of Shia Islamic education founded by his father located in Lucknow.
He carried on the family tradition and was an accomplished poet in Urdu and Farsi. He composed a number of ruba'iyat, salaams, and marsiya as well as some ghazals and nazms under the takhalus (nom de plume) of 'Bahr' and 'Mahbub'. One of his previously unpublished marsiya, entitled Jawn Martyr of Karbala Lamented, has been recently published in London.
He inherited the Estate of Mahamudabad [1] in 1931 upon death of his father Maharaja Sir Mohammad Ali Mohammad Khan. After his demise, his Estate was taken over by Government of India under Enemy Properties Act. His wife Rani Kaniz Abid and his only son and heir Raja Mohammad Amir Mohammad Khan remained Indian citizens and fought a case for recovery of their ancestral Estate for reclaiming their heritage worth millions of rupees and the case is as present in high profile legal dispute in India. He won the case after 37 herculean years winning through district court, High Court of Bombay, and the Supreme Court of India which gave a landmark judgement in 2005 ordering "vacant possession" to his properties. Yet till date the order is far from implementation as the Indian Government continues to bring emergency ordinances in order to block the Supreme Court' order; so the case is back in the courts.
