Once Nawab of Dir, Wali of Swat, Sir Shuja ul Mulk Mehtar of Chitral, viceroy Hind & Shahzada Amin ul Mulk participated in Mahraka. asked about their inherited Property of Drosh from his Uncle Mehtar Shuja ul Mulk.
Suddenly the Mehtar got angry and told to his Nephew why are you asking me, it’s not a suitable place? Shahzada Amin ul Mulk replied it’s a very suitable place because one side is my Maternal uncle Nawab Muhammad Sharif khan of Dir, another side my Cousin Miangul Abdul Wadood of Swat along with a British officer. The britisher officer asked who’s this gentleman? Nawab Muhammad Sharif said he is my Nephew Son of Late Shahi Mulk Governor of Drosh Chitral. Suddenly the British officer told, Shahi Mulk was the prominent Governor and close friend of mine.
He ordered to Sir Shuja ul Mulk, install Mr Shahzada Amin ul Mulk as a Governor of Drosh on immediate basis. He replied ok Sir. Because Mehtar Shuja ul Mulk had a pious Mehtar.
Nawab Muhammad Sharif khan also wrote a letter to Sir Shuja Ul Mulk during 1911, that all the inherited property of my nephew Amin ul Mulk hand over to him. Mehtar Shuja ul Mulk restored and handed over all their inherited property of Drosh also in written form to my grandfather Shahzada Amin ul Mulk during 1917.
