establishment of Pakistan. He gained prominence as one of the era's most highly regarded legal practitioners, commanding a fee of approximately Rs.1,500 per case. Jinnah's affluence and autonomy facilitated his ability to express his thoughts freely.[1]

Jinnah held a profound connection to his possessions and accumulated wealth. When he ultimately departed for Pakistan, he departed from his usual meticulousness by leaving his residence, properties, and personal matters in a state of disarray. Every aspect of his ownership, spanning from his residence and servants to his financial assets, had to be entrusted to his lawyer for resolution.[2]

Jinnah had dedicated his properties to

Islamia College Peshawar.[3][4]

List

Jinnah owned several properties during his lifetime.

Pakistan

India

Jinnah also possessed a bungalow facing the sea in the upscale

Indian government, inaccessible to visitors as it remains locked and secured.[6][2]

Jinnah also took up residence in a dwelling in

Government of the Netherlands for a sum of Rs 5 lakh.[8] Presently, the edifice serves as the Dutch Embassy and is maintained in excellent condition.[9]

England

A blue plaque honoring Jinnah can be found at 35 Russell Road in Holland Park, which was his residence around 1895. He dedicated four years to the study of law at Lincoln's Inn and achieved the distinction of becoming the youngest Indian to be admitted to the English bar at a mere 19 years of age. It was during a portion of this period, specifically in 1895, that he resided at 35 Russell Road.[10][11][12]

Controversies

On 16 November 2021, in response to a hearing of a longstanding 50-year-old lawsuit pertaining to the assets of Jinnah and his sister – encompassing properties, shares, jewelry, automobiles, and bank holdings – a commission led by retired Justice Faheem Ahmed Siddiqui was established as per the directive of the Sindh High Court (SHC).[13]

In India, efforts have been made to demolish properties associated with Jinnah. Notably,

BJP MLA and Mumbai city chief, has advocated for the transformation of Jinnah House into a cultural center. This proposition was initially established in 2018. Lodha, who represents the Malabar Hill constituency, has consistently expressed his stance on demolishing Jinnah House.[5]
